Abba’s Sack Illegal-Police Council Not Consulted As Required By the Constitution by LasgidyPort: 3:05am On Apr 24, 2015 |
Abba’s sack illegal- Falana http://thenationonlineng.net/new/falana-abbas-sack-illegal/ Lagos lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has condemned the sack of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Suleiman Abba. He described Abba’s removal as “illegal and unconstitutional”. “It is a contravention of sectin 216 (2) of the 1999 constitution, which states that ‘before removing the IG form office, the President shall consult the Nigeria Police Council’. “Since the council, whose members include the 36 State Governors, was not consulted, Mr. Abba’s sack is null and void. It should be rescinded forthwith,” Falana said. 16 Likes 1 Share |

There continues the impunity of the Jona regime. This same impunity caused him to fail to convince a lot of Nigerians to reelect him. From impunity in: -sacking a chief of army staff when he went to represent Nigeria at an international engagement (cowardly way of sacking). -sacking the CBN gov in an unconstitutional way when he was out of the country representing Nigeria at an international engagement (cowardly way of sacking). -encouraging and supporting minority to upstage majority in Rivers assembly. -encouraging division in the Nigeria Gov's forum just because your preferred candidate lost a free and fair election. -encouraging and supporting the embarrassment of the Speaker of the House of Reps, the House in general and the entire Nigerian people in an unconstitutional way just because he decamped from your party with a valid legal basis (this particular one was a big assault on Nigeria's democracy). -encouraging and supporting unnecessary impeachment proceedings in Adamawa and Nasarawa because of personal grouse with the govs. That of Nasarawa failed and almost threw the state into chaos. That of Adamawa succeeded and looks very likely to be upturned by the courts and thus creating additional confusion and waste of funds. - encouraging minority (7) to send majority (19) packing from the Ekiti state house of assembly. I am very sure if GEJ calls for just 1 meeting with all the members of the EKITI house including Fayose and Ekiti APC leadership and mediate peace moves btw all parties as expected from the Father of the nation, it would have seriously calm nerves over there. But instead, he is encouraging Fayose to be dictatorial by sending the 19 APC lawmakers away and in effect heating up the state as if there is no other alternative way of resolving disputes. GEJ has so many bills passed by the National Assembly not yet signed into law (some since 2012). Instead of him to busy himself in studying these bills and assenting those that merits assent before handover, thereby leaving a legacy for himself, he's being vindictive (another show of small mindedness). Jona why are u trying to create more enemies for yourself before leaving? All the people u witch-hunted are taking strategic positions in the GMB govt. Why can't u just leave quietly. Now that u re soon going to become an ordinary citizen, it is in your interest to make peace with all sides and pursue it. What if GMB comes on board and then reinstate Abba that his sack did not follow due process. Will that not make u look silly? Are u aware that the police and others will still be responsible for your security as a former president and it is in your interest and that of your family to have a good rapport and relationship with that institution. Why do u always prefer to act out of emotions instead of logically? A lot of think tanks are already of the opinion that u should have left Abba's fate in the hands of the incoming administration. If u and your wife jam any of Dambazzau, Sylva, Nyako, SLS, Amaechi, Nyako, Berth Nnaji, or Abba at say an airport or at a function,will u not feel a pang of guilt at your earlier vindictive actions? As u round up your administration, pls don't create additional enemies for yourself, use the remaining days to leave the legacy of a responsible peace-loving leader and a gentleman. 111 Likes 8 Shares |
