Call For Buratai’s Sack:(cesjet) Carpets Falana by Istand4justice: 7:46am On Jul 11, 2016 |
The Centre for Social Justice, Equity and
Transparency (CESJET) has hailed human
rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) for
having the decency to acknowledge the
Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur
Buratai’s “commendable feat of leading the
Nigerian Army to defeat Boko Haram in the
North East,” saying that "such recognition
coming from Falana even as he attacked
Buratai demonstrated the dilemma of those
that have openly declared their hatred for
the nation."
It said those behind the calls should have by
now developed a capacity for feeling shame
since they know that their demands have no
connection with national interest but was
instead borne out of malice for President
Muhammadu Buhari, whom they want to
deprive of his trusted aides.
CESJET, in a statement on Sunday, by its
Executive Secretary, Comrade Ikpa Isaac,
however lamented that selfish interest drove
Falana to lend his voice to those seeking
Buratai’s ouster by calling for his sack or
resignation.
The statement expressed regrets that the
foremost human rights lawyer unwittingly fell
into the trap of speaking for those that want
to buy time for Boko Haram to regroup or has
simply exposed himself as part of the
nation’s problem since only those that are
opposed to the defeat of the terrorists and
the exposure of their sponsors are the one’s
demanding Buratai’s sack.
Isaac said: “For a man who mounts stiff
defence of clients accused of corruption,
Falana’s statement that accused, tried,
condemned and sentenced the COAS to a
sack in one breadth smacks of double
standards and raises questions about the
positions he had earlier taken on other
national issues.
“It is not surprising that this is the path
Falana is taking considering his recent
encouragement to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to
disregard the immunity of a sitting governor
without regards for the impasse that could
result therein.
“The allegations that the renowned lawyer is
putting his governorship ambition in Ekiti
state above public interest is finally being
proven since those that allocate tickets in the
All Progressives Congress (APC) have earlier
been fingered in the plot to oust Buratai from
his current post. It is also becoming a
certainty, given the intensity of this
campaign of calumny that the incumbent
COAS is merely a pawn to these people that
are desperate to decimate persons they
perceive as loyal to President Buhari so that
they can fill the resulting vacuum with their
own henchmen.
“We are also not surprised that their
vituperations came on a day that the military
made one of its most decisive strikes against
Boko Haram, killing 16 terrorists, capturing
two alive and seizing highly sophisticated
weapons from the terrorists.
“In a curious coincidence, Falana issued his
statement on the same day as several NGOs
that are known to answer to the APC power
block he is sucking up to for the
governorship ticket issued similarly worded
statements. The coordination was perfect to
the point that there were supporting
newspaper editorials.
“Falana and his co-travellers have in reality
become threats to the civil society
movement in Nigeria; Gani Fawehinmi will in
no doubt be terribly bitter in his grave that
his compatriots have abandoned the core
issues of humanity, which he fought for his
entire life, and have gone to dine with the
devil.
“They also interpret the constitution like
pastors who are out to make money from the
congregation not minding if they tell the
truth or not. This is indeed a very risky
dimension that persons with clout in the
society must not ply,” CESJET warned. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/call-for-buratais-sack-cesjet-carpets-falana/ |
