A leopard can never, I repeat can never change its skin. The next four years will be defined by lawlessness and high handedness of a failed and clueless government who will try harder to cover his inefficiencies using excessive force.
I am afraid I must agree with you on this.

In truth I develop goosepimples just imagining the scenario. If the guy sees no headway, he will resort to violence and political assassinations and impunity may become the order of the day.

Even at that,can the U.S allow a terrorist sponsor any freedom? No U.S court dare grant a man bail for a reasonable offence, its not done anywhere in the world.
It's for the courts to pronounce dasuki guilty, but it will be the height of stupidity for him to be allowed outside Nigeria because he is never gonna come back and will most likely start channelling funds to ISIL to recruit and train more BH fighters.Evn if Obama intervenes, dasuki is going no where because he is a national security threat.
Anyways, the article is just the opinion of a barrister who has probably been paid to write on behalf of dasuki.

it's getting clearer by the day, that Buhari's major aim for gunning for presidency, is to fight his personal and political enemies.

The Economy is falling by the day, No Power, No Fuel, Bad Roads, No water, Boko Haram Kidnapping Soldiers, People dying in droves, Biafrans being shot at....and all what Bubu cares about is kwaruption?

Endtime president.

With the glitter of fool’s gold, Nigeria’s recently elected President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in the United States in July uttering time-worn democracy vows to President Barack Obama and his administration. Among other things, he pledged at the United States Institute for Peace to combat graft with procedures that would be “fair, just, and scrupulously follow due process and the rule of law, as enshrined in our constitution.”

Skepticism is in order—a conclusion reinforced by the ongoing persecution of of former National Security Advisor Sambo Dasuki for alleged money laundering and illegal possession of firearms.

But first some background.

Mr. Buhari initially tasted power as a military dictator following a coup de tat in 1983. His dictatorship was earmarked by chilling human rights abuses. Take the word of Nigerian Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka.

Among other things, Mr. Soyinka highlights Mr. Buhari’s draconian edicts, exemplified by Decree 20 under which the judicial murders of Nigerian citizens Lawal Ojuolape, Bernard Ogedengbe, and Bartholomew Owoh were authorized. Mr. Obedengbe was executed for a crime that did not carry the death penalty at the time it was committed in violation of the universal revulsion of ex post facto laws.

Soyinka adds that these crimes were executed in defiance of pleas from virtually every sector of Nigeria and the international community—a grisly precedent for subsequent dictator Sani Abasha’s hanging of Ogoni activist Ken Sara-Wiwi in contempt of international opinion.

Mr. Buhari turned the nation into a slave plantation, and forbade the slaves from any discussion of their enslavement—especially a return to democracy. He favored the north over the south, dividing rather than unifying Nigeria after the convulsions of the 1967-70 Biafran War. He lent support to the introduction of Sharia law in the North—a major source of strife and disharmony.

Mr. Buhari’s brutal military dictatorship was overthrown in 1985. Mr. Dasuki played a key role. Dictators do not forget. Fast forward to today.

After celebrating fairness, due process, and the rule of law last July to win the good will of the United States, Mr. Buhari returned to Nigeria to mock all three in a vendetta against the Dasuki, the immediate past National Security Adviser.

He placed Mr. Dasuki under house arrest. He confiscated his passport. He charged him with firearms and money laundering violations. He sought a secret trial to prevent independent scrutiny.

He opposed Mr. Dasuki’s pretrial application to the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja for permission to receive urgent medical treatment for cancer in London, but it was nonetheless granted.

Justice Adeniyi Ademola explained that an accused is presumed innocent before trial, and that a citizen’s health is paramount before the law. Mr. Buhari was ordered to release Mr. Dasuki’s international passport.

Mr. Buhari defied the order. He put Mr. Dasuki’s house under siege, a microcosm of the Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo. Mr. Dasuki returned to court. Justice Ademola reaffirmed his order, asserting “My own orders will not be flouted.”

Mr. Buhari has not yet budged. As a military dictator in 1985, he similarly seized the international passport of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to thwart his travel for medical treatment, which caused his death in 1987. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Much is riding on Mr. Dasuki’s case. If Mr. Buhari flouts Justice Ademola’s order with impunity, judicial independence will be fatally compromised and Nigeria’s embryonic democratic dispensation will be stillborn. The judiciary is the only branch capable of checking limitless executive power—the bane of Africa.

People should not misconstrue a newspaper statement for the stand of the American government or people. Having said that, Nigeria is an independent nation with a dream , most-probably, at variance with American dream.

We are not the same people - our needs, wants and ideals are different.

If the author of the article, Bruce Fein, is given more money by the Buhari Government to say worse against Dasuki, he will gladly oblige. That is his Modus Operandi. I would take his words with a pinch of salt. He is not reliable.
