Democracy Day: Lawyer Punctures Buhari’s Speech, Failure to Name Looters
- Says President failed to address herdsmen attacks, other critical issues
Senator Iroegbu in Abuja
A constitutional and human rights
lawyer, Ms Carol Ajie, has described the Democracy Day broadcast by
President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) as a “slumbering speech” that failed to
address many critical national issues, especially his failure to
publish the recovered loots and looters.
Ajie said in a release analysing
Buhari’s speech on Sunday that the president was at most incoherent as
well as inconsistent about his promise to publish the details about the
recovered loots and instead shifted the responsibilities to the Ministry
of Information with no stipulated date.
She cited the President’s statement:“We
are also engaged in making recoveries of stolen assets some of which are
in different jurisdictions. The processes of recovery can be tedious
and time consuming, but today I can confirm that thus far: significant
amount of assets have been recovered. A considerable portion of these
are at different stages of recovery. ..”, as slumbering.
Quoting Premium Times, Ajie said:
“Rather than personally speak on the matter and provide specific details
as promised, Mr. Buhari only said he had directed the Ministry of
Information to periodically publish details on the assets recovered so
far.”
The award winning lawyer listed 12 key
areas, which President Buhari either failed or deliberately chose to
ignore including: “Galloping inflation arising from Buhari’s meanness in
refusing to disclose an economic policy in Africa’s most populous
country more than a year post-inauguration. He wants all Nigerians
dead?”
Ajie also said that Buhari through his
broadcast failed to respect the sanctity of life with too many killings
involving the Zaria massacre, Fulani herdsmen slaughtering from Agatu to
Enugu and inhumanity to IPOB some extra-judicially killed.
