Obasanjo, Ex-governors Created Bokoharam –femi Falana by Ayed44: 11:03am On Oct 12, 2014
Fiery human rights lawyer and activist, Mr Femi
Falana, SAN, is not only a consummate social
justice crusader, but a throbbing liberator of
knotty discourses. He opens a can of worms on
the real genesis of the Boko Haram insurgency
which the nation is currently grappling with,
placing it squarely on the laps of former president
Olusegun Obasanjo and those governors who
introduced sharia laws in their states and allowed
it to spin out of control.
He says Obasanjo’s blunt refusal to halt the strict
code of Islamic laws which was ab-initio political,
through an overriding constitutional
interpretation at the Supreme Court to halt its
spread, emboldened nascent groups and indi­
viduals in the affected states to seek for a pro­
found purification of the application of the laws,
ultimately, washing up’ with Boko Haram.
He opens up more on the military which is faced
with the responsibility of taming the Frankenstein
monster, and is in the process of courting contro­
versies on corruption, mutiny, and court martials.
He says the war has so far defied all known
prognosis by producing no heroes on both sides.
Falana takes on the brouhaha in Ekiti State with
the engaging passion of a son of the soil, declar­
ing emphatically that the state has slipped back
to ‘Egypt’. “ After the Ekiti State governorship elec­
tion on June 20 this year, a newspaper
interviewed me, and I did say that by the choice of
Ekiti people, they have gone back to Egypt”, he
intones.
He roves round to other burning national issues
including the controversial $9.3 million arms deal
cache in South Africa, why president Jonathan
shuns investigation into varnishing defense bud­
gets, the Independent National Electoral Commis­
sion, INEC, among others. Read the full interview here http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=85706
