Some Senior Advocates of Nigeria have said that President Muhammadu Buhari should be ready to account for his actions when he leaves office next year.Asked by his interviewers what comes to his mind about 2023 elections, he said, “It’s not my problem.”
Falana said he believed Buhari was misquoted in that part of the interview, noting further that the orders that could not be enforced against him at the moment because of his immunity would be enforced when he leaves office. Making reference to a recent report by The Guardian titled, ‘BPP kicks against award of ICTN contract to medical firm’, the lawyer said while still in office enjoying immunity from prosecution Buhari was already being indicted by a Nigerian Government agency.
"While he is still in power, even the BPP is indicting him. People have gone to court to say, ‘You and Amaechi can’t award this contract.’ Now he enjoys immunity; when he is out of office, he won’t enjoy any immunity. So, he should be expecting to be called upon to give account. And if the records are there, he will have to come forward to present the records. Those records are not in the public domain.
He said,” What the President has said is purely emotional blackmail and is using style to threaten his successor, which is unexpected of a President that claims to be fighting corruption. The person fighting corruption cannot himself be running away from investigation or probe because that would be inconsistent with the President’s open declaration to be ahead in anti-corruption fight.
“I don’t want to agree that he does not want to be held accountable, of course he can be compelled to appear in court after his tenure ends. He can be summoned, the law of evidence permits that, and the constitution does not extend the immunity to after office,” he added.
See him neck like lizard 🦎 own 😏
May he live to answer for all his atrocities against the masses.
You can fault Buhari for all that I cares but he is only taking to precedence of his superior renegade - OBASANJO who in past refused to be summoned by any court as if there is absolute immunity for Ex- Presidents
Dirty mind set Buari
Someone should tell him that he has a bigger problem...the ICC!
This young man is afraid of aftermath.did GOWON,obj,IBB ever use this kind of statement. My conclusion,this is not BUHARI, Even buratai with his open atrocities, didn't use this kind of statement.. Army is a fraternity,once you join, death is not a thought.
Who did this to Nigeria?
