PDP Vows To Drags Buhari To ICC by Meekdon: 8:24pm On Aug 27, 2018
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to do everything legitimately possible to ensure that the International Criminal Court (ICC) holds President Muhammadu Buhari responsible for human rights violation and abuses under his watch.


The party said it would mobilize Nigerians to stop the President from introducing “the long forgotten trappings of military dictatorship into a democratic regime” which it said Nigerians laboured for many years to attain.

It would be recalled that Buhari, while declaring open the 2018 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), declared that the nation’s security cannot be sacrificed on the altar of individual rights and rule of law.


The President, in his speech, urged lawyers to put national security over and above the rule of law.

But in a statement on Monday, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP National Publicity Secretary, said the President’s assertion was a direct trademark of despotic rulers, adding that cannot find expression in a democratic setting.

The party further stated that it will not stop at anything legitimate to ensure that the International Criminal Court (ICC) holds President Buhari responsible for violations of rule of law and criminal abuse of human rights committed under his rule in the last three years.


“It is instructive to note that contrary to claims by Mr. President, there is no pronouncement by the Supreme Court that subjugates constitutional rule of law and rights of citizens to the whims, caprices and dictatorial impulses of any President.

“Our national interest is thoroughly embedded, protected, expressed and enforced only under the rule of law as provided by our constitution and there is no how Nigerians can allow an individual to superimpose or override the constitution with his personal whims and impulses; a pattern that is characteristic of known dictators all over the world, as expressed in the obnoxious Executive Order 6, designed to justify a complete clamp down of political opponents ahead of 2019 general elections,” Ologbondiyan stated.

“This is in addition to the quest to forcefully remove the leadership of the National Assembly, the blockade of the National Assembly and siege of the official residences of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President by Presidency controlled-security forces.

“We know that President Buhari is apprehensive of the electoral defeat that awaits him in February 2019 for which he is seeking ways to subvert the system, but we caution that in this desperation to hold unto to power, he must not seek to again, subvert our constitutional order as he will be firmly resisted by Nigerians”.

National security cannot be in conflict with the rule of law except the custodian has dictator tendencies.

What constitutes national security should be clear to all and interpretable by the rule of law and not what one man thinks to be right against others.

Buhari with his military background will always twist the issue of national security over the rule of law just to please his inate desires hence will always use national security as a decoy to trample on the rights of the people.

All over the world, RULE OF LAW DOES NOT INFRINGE ON ISSUES CONCERNING NATIONAL SECURITY so stop making silly statements.

Even lawyers know this and work within their limits .

Asari Dokubo and Ralph Uwazurike were arrested by the SSS under Obasanjo. Festus Keyamo filed bail applications and argued them to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court held that Asari Dokubo is a threat to the security of the country and therefore cannot be granted bail. The very words used in that ruling is what Buhari paraphrased yesterday while addressing the members of thenoble profession in Abuja.

You saw nothing wrong with the arrest and detention of Asari Dokubo and Uwazurike both of whom are southerners then. You suddenly realized that there is freedom of liberty in our constitution that cannot be limited or qualified.

El-Zazaki and Dasuki are Fulanis just like Buhari. You are crying more than the bereaved because your memory is short changed by hatred. Very soon, you would cry for the release of the Boko Haram terrorist and even Shekarau once he is apprehended.

Your hatred has twisted your brain and we must deliver you before it goes out of hand.


TRUMP DECLARED THAT FROM NOW ON IT WOULD BE AMERICA FIRST AND WHAT PMB ALSO SAID WAS IT WOULD BE NIGERIA FIRST.

It is pointless using asari dokubo and uwazuruike as reference to buharis dictarial tendencies judging the fact that it was pronounced by the courts under the rule of law and not by one tyrant dictator who have refused to adhere to court rulings.
besides you could not counter my positions other than reigning insults typical of buhari media clowns

Dasukis incarceration is pure revenge from buhari for arresting him in 1984 .

Buhari is also holding elzakzaky out of dictatorial belief against the shia islam in defense of his sharia-like muslim faith which he wants to cut their rising popularity and only using national security as a decoy.

Where was buhari and is national security when miyetti Allah owned up to the taking of over 200 Nigerian lives as a revenge.

Where was buhari and his national security when he supported bokoharam killings and said bokoharam was north and north bokoharam.

Where was buhari and his national security when he threatened to soak the dogs and baboons. In a sane society buhari should be in jail for constituting nuisance to national security.

Where was buhari and his national security when bokoharam kingpins where being released and exposed to the society.

Where was the dullard and his national security when accused looters are joining their useless party and being converted to saints.

Buhari who is bereft of intellectual ideas has taken another step in bullying and trampling on the rights of perceived opponents with his latest statement while he continues to fight a fake and one sided anticorruption war .

Be rest assured that the civilian society and international community with reputation are watching the tyrants action closely and very much ready to contribute in what constitutes national security and dictatorship. The two can never be mistaken to mean the same

Donald Trumps America first is in the context of International Relations

Donald Trump can not toy with the rights of American Citizens in USA in the name of America first.

FYI US Government can not tap the phones of American citizens without obtaining a court order for this reason

It is not up to Buhari or any President to choose to obey when to obey the law or what is of the National Interest. It should take a court pronouncement to override the law.

If Buhari keeps breaking the law in the name of National security then he is simply justifying a coup de tat against himself!

You need to first understand what ISSUES CONCERNING NATIONAL SECURITY entails before you start mouthing off in ignorance.

US government taps the phones of its citizens all the time without court order. You think they are foolish? How do you think they had files on Hilary and trump even before the elections? Do you think they asked for a court order for those?

Donald trumps comment about America first is all about National security issues within which international relations falls into.

I just cited an example to you regarding Asari and Uwazurike and how the supreme court denied then their legal rights of bail because they were a threat to national security and you are still busy talking to me about rule of law as if the courts are mandated to stick with it.

Common sense entails that when there is a bigger risk to our national.security, the rule of law IMMEDIATELY takes the back seat such as was the case in the example I just gave.

The agency holding dasuki who happens to be a threat to national security are doing the right thing.

The courts can only rule that he be bailed but cannot enforce it in this light because there is no agency that would bend to that ruling when the security of the nation is at stake.

The judiciary which can be so easily corrupted and influenced cannot be trusted implicitly when issues regarding national security are in play.

Dasuki is a security threat to Nigeria and as such the interest of majority of Nigerians come first above his own.

Its like the court asking that shekau the boko haram leader should be granted bail and people like you carrying placard and supporting it.

When the US went after Osama Bin Laden their instruction was get him DEAD or alive. Osama bin laden had the right to life but they still killed him didn't they with a bullet right in the head.

Who arrested and jailed the soldiers who took away his right to life? They were rather hailed as heros.

This is a classic example of national security coming first above rule of law
