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.
