Stop Crying Wolf Because You Were Not Appointed Minister, Umana Replies Falana by akstrending(m): 9:11am On Dec 24, 2015
The APC Governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom state, Mr Umana Umana has lashed out at legal luminary and human right activist Chief Femi Falana, saying he is crying wolf following his non-appointment as Minister of Justice by President Buhari.
Umana in reacting to Falana’s position on the discrepancies and inconsistencies in recent judiciary rulings that tended to be twisted in favour of APC candidates, said that Falana was merely aggrieved at not being appointed into Buhari’s government.
Speaking through his media assistants Iboro Otongaran and Kenneth Jimmy on the social media channels notably, nigerianworldforum@yahoogroups.com, africanworldforum@googlegroups.com, Ibomchronicle@yahoogroups.com, Mr Umana posited that “as a lawyer, Femi Falana should know that the law is what the court says. He should have withheld his opinion until the outcome of the Supreme Court appeal. If the Supreme Court affirms the decision of the appellate court, what would he say as a man who knows that he would not be able to go back to Channels TV to recant?”
The APC candidate suggested that, “What Falana should be doing now is to reconcile the current clamouring for the removal of petroleum subsidy against his position in January, 2012.”
Umana maintained that Falana “would not have gone to Channels TV to talk about Akwa Ibom election matters if his name was not dropped from the ministerial nomination list.”
It would be recalled that Falana had warned the All Progressives Congress to stop the wanton destruction of the Country’s Judiciary over what he termed as greedy political agitation, which is capable of dividing the country.
Falana in the interview said the judgement contradicted both the Supreme Court precedence and the Constitution and wondered how the same Appeal Court which dismissed the use of card readers in the Lagos Governorship Election as upheld by the supreme Court, would use card readers to invalidate the elections in Akwa Ibom state.
