Fuel Scarcity: Why President Buhari Cannot Be Summoned - Nigerian Senate

As Nigerians continue to experience increasing fuel scarcity, the Senate has issued a statement stating that the country's President who is also Petroleum Minister cannot be summoned to speak on the matter.

According to VANGUARD, moves by PDP senators to summon the President failed as the red chamber, reacting through its chairman on Media and Publicity, Aliyu Sabi, insisted that the fact that the President was overseeing the Petroleum ministry as a substantive minister, did not make him to be easily summoned like other ministers.

He said as the Commander-in-Chief, it was wrong to invite him to appear before the Senate, despite the fact that he was the Minister of Petroleum.
