Nigeria’s Democracy Cannot Survive Without Rule Of Law – Ekweremadu by Leebrown(m): 11:24am On Jan 24, 2016
The Deputy senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has said that no democracy in the world can survive without strict adherence to the rule of law.This is contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media,Uche Anichukwu, and issued to journalists on Saturday in Abuja. According to the statement, Mr.Ekweremadu made the remark at a dinner organised by the International Law Institute(ILI), Washington DC,for its alumni in Nigeria.He noted that no country could experience meaningful development without the rule of law.He said:“Democracy becomes gravely imperilled if the powers of the judiciary to enforce compliance with the rule of law are subjected to legal, extra-legal, and sociological limitations.“Our task as an emerging democracy is to continue to build a society where government agencies as well as individuals and private entities must be subjected to and accountable under the law.“We must ensure that the process by which laws are enacted, administered, and enforced is accessible, fair and efficient.

Rule of Law is against abusing of office by stealing common wealth under your trust. That is d most important aspect of rule of law we need in Nigeria right now.

Other aspect of rule of law that make it difficult for political criminals to be punished for stealing common wealth can wait till 2023.

True talk.
In addition, NO COUNTRY CAN SURVIVE BY LETTING THE POLITICAL THIEVES, WHO HAVE STOLEN OUR NATIONAL WEALTH, TO GO SCOT FREE. They must be punished by the rule of law too.
