Tunde Akogun said: "for peace, order, and good government of the federation, and consistent with the judgment of the courts, the Vice President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, shall assume all the executive powers of the President, pending the return of the President, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua"
David Mark added: "A rigid and inflexible interpretation will not only stifle the spirit and intendment of the constitution, but will also affront the doctrine of necessity. The doctrine of necessity requires that we do what is necessary when faced with a situation that was not contemplated by the constitution. And that is precisely what we have done today (yesterday). In doing so, we have as well maintained the sanctity of our constitution as the ultimate law of the land. "
Tunde Akogun said: "Now therefore, be resolved that for the peace, order and good governance of the federation and consistent with the judgments of the courts, Vice President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCON shall assume full presidential powers as Acting President, pending the return of President Umaru Yar'Adua GCFR to office.'' Some members, however, opposed the way the resolution was passed. At a meeting with the state governors, Bankole said the action of House was in the interest of all Nigerians but accused the judiciary and lawyers of adding confusion to the saga. "
