2,500
signatures achieved as at 10:30 AM Monday today is Day 5 meaning an average of
500 signatures per day and that is more than the number of national assembly
members, add NBA-NEC members and some pro-democracy and anti-corruption CSOs
and NGOs you will now see that if President Buhari continues to flout court
orders despite caution by the Nigerian Bar Association, to respect court orders as seen in Vanguard
newspaper today, 4-1-2016 click on the
link. In the event of all the Courts and
Tribunals established under the Constitution shutting down, in further protest Mr. President Buhari will held his regime responsible. NBA boycotted
the courts when Alao Aka Bashorun was President under a military regime and it
is a shame to let it happen again! http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/kanu-dasuki-nba-sans-differ-with-buhari-sagay/
Now as
there is a viewpoint to support Buhari for President 2023, that is against the
letter and spirit of section 135(2) of the 1999 Constitution and a step in the
direction of Treasonable felony.
Mr.
President Buhari and his half-baked supporters must respect the Constitution,
please. If there is a petition to fight against corruption I voted and responded
and signed for reasons stated herein:
The
war against corruption in Nigeria is a task that must be won by all against all
including Buhari, his extravagance in the Presidential Villa. If he is not
wasteful why is he keeping the presidential (long) fleet of aircraft and spends
almost N2B on maintenance costs monthly in 7 months has been in office it comes
to approx. N14Billion. Give half of that to poor IDPs in NE.
The
newsletter hereunder had been released Sunday. Have a Great Week, Nigeria
BUHARI WON BY THE BALLOT, NOT THE
BARREL, PLEASE!
I am an activist and a human rights
lawyer. I have advocated decade long to uphold the rule of law,
constitutionalism and respect for human rights and gender rights. As a direct
result of my human rights work I won a scholarship award for my LL.M Int'l legal studies in Georgetown
Law Center, Washington DC 2009-2010. I have never held a public office in
Nigeria or elsewhere. I do not belong to a political party and was never issued
a party membership card at anytime. As a practicing lawyer I recall I conducted
a case in the High Court of Lagos State,
one Billion Naira libel suit instituted by Mr Buhari against the Guardian newspaper, for
an article entitled “for the attention of Buhari” by Abati following the
post-election violence in 2011 that cost
Nigerians precious lives of youth corpers adhoc INEC staff who were butchered
over allegations that they had assisted in rigging Buhari out and the matter was settled out of court after
I had cast a defence. I didn’t sign the
terms of settlement as defence counsel.
On 31st Dec 2015 I had raised certain
human rights and constitutional issues against the President of my country
Nigeria, Mr Muhammadu Buhari after his first media chat on Television on 30th
Dec 2015 whereat he had justified disobedience of court orders by his regime
and that prompted me to write an online petition to respect court orders; here is the link to my
petition signed by 2,200 signatories as at 3rd Jan 2016 11:50PM
https://www.change.org/p/president-of-the-united-states-respect-court-orders-or-resign-president-buhari-2
The reactions of Mr President’s
supporters not surprisingly threatened violence even after PMB won the 2015
presidential election. What if it wasn’t online would they have applied
President Buhari’s Barrel?.
Won’t that be Barbaric! These being
executive tactics to silence are very poor tactics for our democracy.
President Buhari is not the first
President I would critic, I critiqued President Jonathan within weeks of his
being sworn in and from 2011 to 2015 and nothing happened to anyone, nobody was
‘silenced’. He was tolerant of critics. If Buhari is incapable of tolerating
criticism why is he holding a public office?
Respectfully submitted,
