Impeachments and the Rule of Law

We are all for tackling corruption at all levels. But it must be done within the tenets of true federalism, full democratic rights and transparent processes. No breach, please.

The situations in Oyo, Ekiti, Plateau and Anambra States call for caution. As the Nigerian Bar Association has posited, no one should fight for justice unconstitutionally. You cannot tackle an illegality by using another illegality as tool or means. Senseless.

Let the anti-corruption agencies, especially the EFCC, and the presidency heed the mounting calls for caution and constitutional compliance. Simple.

Let the National Assembly rise up to its role and fullest potentials in these transition months. It should be the unwavering defender of Nigeria's Democracy. No excuses, no failure.

Impeachments and declarations of state of emergency be no child's play or political chess game!
They must not be trivialised or bastardised. The rigours of our constitution must be upheld at all times.

A Time To Think

Nigerians are watching the present political class closely. Are they satisfied with its performance or are they yearning for true patriotism and political sagacity? Just survey the Nigerian media - it is an eye- and ear-full. Yet the class revels in delirium!

Now that the real transition is afoot, we watch even more closely. Somehow, it will work out and the forces of darkness will be roundly dislodged and permanently defeated. The signs are clear, the signals are palpable. The terrain is changing, the knots unravelling. Simply unstoppable! The clarion call is loud....and clear.

Let those who never lost touch with their mom's teachings of honour and traditional values come out to serve. Let them blaze a new trail to the new land of culture, of integrity, of probity, and of decency-in-service. Now less, even more, we ask.

This then is the time to think anew, to realign and build the alliance of a true renaissance. Don't be caught with the wrong crowd!
