OSOGBO—The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Osun State chapter, yesterday warned President Muhammadu Buhari against acts capable of plunging the country into civil war, saying tampering with the constitutionally guaranteed immunity of governors would spell doom for the country. The party, in a statement issued in Osogbo by its Director of Research, Publicity and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi, urged the President to immediately drop plans to alleged plans to impose travel ban on governors of Rivers and Ekiti states – Nyesom Wike and Ayo Fayose, respectively, saying there was nothing done to Buhari by the duo that Rauf Aregbesola of Osun did not do to Goodluck Jonathan while he was in office. Odeyemi said the same Section 308 of the constitution that gives the President immunity also provides the governors with same leverage, adding that, instead of tinkering with the idea of travel ban on the governors, if any security infraction is noticed, the President should approach the court. Recalling how the PDP Obasanjo-led Federal Government approached the court when the administration of Senator Bola Tinubu created local government areas in Lagos State, Odeyemi opined that adding the salt of travel ban on governors with immunity which is the same as the president, to the injury of constant flouting of court orders by the Buhari administration in the last one year is not portraying the president as a true democrat. The statement reads in part: “Since the news broke of plans by Buhari to ban PDP governors Ayo Fayose and Nyesom Wike from travelling using Department of State Security, DSS, as threat, images of events of the past years have kept on reappearing “We don’t want anything that can truncate this democracy. Attempt to strip two PDP governors of their immunity is capable of enacting civil war .” The party then called on all past leaders to prevail on President Buhari to shelve the idea to save the country of needless tension and constitutional crises [url][/url]for more stories kleegers.com |

modelmike7:The immunity clause isn't the President's to remove, he has no such powers. It's a constitutional matter which can only be removed by an act of parliament through constitutional amendment. Buhari has no right restricting the freedom of anyone who hasn't committed any offence or charged with any. People close to him should warn him against doing such as it surely will lewd to disastrous consequences. |

so because there is a travel ban on one governor there will be civil war, billions of dollar was looted yet ther was no civil war, thousands are killed by corruption daily yet no civil war but there will civil war because a governor is stopped from embarking on a meaningless trip.. OP mind yourself oooooooo 1 Like |

Does this man think we e are still operating under military regime and Btw why is he witch hunting PDP governors. Did APC governors not do worse under the last administration, he should face the economic crisis in the country and leave unnecessary issues be: after all there is no government without its very vocal critics |

idupaul: the way some of you reason, i doubt if there would be any meaningful progress in this country? the president has no constitutional or civil powers or whatsoever to strip any gov his immunity as doing so flouts the constitution. we should once condemn evil no matter who's involved. your likes are here shouting pdp misruled this country and same people are cheering an open disregard for the constitution and you tell me you guys reason well. |

modelmike7:. Olodo, must you comment, even when you don't know the meaning of immunity? Do U think ur president has the power to remove the immunity of the Governors? Sorry oo. The same constitution that gives him immunity is the same for the Governors. Do you understand? Any question? |
