President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola
Saraki, claims there is “now a government
within the government of President Buhari”,
which has allegedly seized the apparatus of
Executive powers to pursue a nefarious
agenda.
This claim by Senator Saraki would have been
more worth the while, if it had been backed
with more information. If he had proceeded to
identify those who constitute the “government
within the government,” it would have taken
the issue beyond the realm of fiction and mere
conjecture.
But as it stands, the allegation is not even
worth the paper on which it was written, as
anybody can wake from a troubled sleep, and
say anything.
The Attorney-General of the Federation is the
Chief Law Officer of the state. It is within his
constitutional powers to determine who has
infringed upon the law, and who has not.
Pretending to carry an imaginary cross is
mere obfuscation, if, indeed, a criminal act
has been committed. But we leave the courts
to judge.
To claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is
anybody’s stooge is not only ridiculous, but
also preposterous. It is not in the character of
our President.
