Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), said the real reason former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat in 2015 was because of the arrest and prosecution warning issued by the International Criminal Court ahead of the elections.
He said prior to the elections, ICC had warned that should there be any violence and crimes against humanity, any leader responsible would be arrested and prosecuted the same way the ex-President of Cote d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, was prosecuted.
According to a statement made available to journalists on Monday, Falana said this at the inauguration of the League of Anambra Professionals Legal Defence Initiative, held in Lagos over the weekend.
The lawyer added that for fear of ICC, no Nigerian leader dared annul election again like a former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd.), did in 1993.
He also dismissed the fear that President Muhammadu Buhari might be unwilling to leave office if he should lose next year’s election.
Falana said, “Unlike in 1993 when the military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, successfully annulled an election, that is no longer possible.
“Whoever does that now will end up in The Hague. He is likely to be tried for crimes against humanity because if you annul an election, you are likely to have a monumental violence in the country which will lead to crimes against humanity.
“Before the 2015 elections, the ICC warned that if there was any problem in Nigeria, anybody who was responsible would be arrested and charged like former President Laurent Gbagbo of Cote d’Ivoire. That was the atmosphere under which President Goodluck conceded victory.”
Falana said he decided to speak on the issue in order to assure Nigerians that election could no longer be annulled in Nigeria.
This, he said, was important because of the fear that had been expressed that if Buhari lost election, he might not want to hand over.
“That belongs to the past,” he declared.
A former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, on his part said the clamour for restructuring must be viewed contextually as “Nigeria had been in the process of restructuring since 1903.”

Jonathan, the hero of Biafra
nation. See as them dey lambasting Falana. Whereas, the man was speaking as a non partisan citizen. He even made it clear that should buhari lose in the coming election, he dare not annul the outcome of the election or refuse to step down. His message was very Clea. But our blodas will not understand. Once you criticize their hero, you're a tribalist and APC supporter. |

Falana's statement is gibberish. Gbagbo ended up at the ICC because of the civil war that ensued in Ivory Coast. |

Stupid comment from the hypocritical lawyer....
The biggest criminal and corrupt dictator is busy running the Nigerian government at the moment.
A president that does not respect the rule of law is not fit to lead this nation in the first place. I hope Nigerians are learning sense... The truth is always bitter....I feel ur pain |

I don't understand how south west leaders behave, it will be clear soon
They have made it so clear that they are not part of the south giving the north the power they have ruling this nation...
Anyone who watched the last debate will see the intellectual capacity of the south above the north....
But the south west will always push the south down joining their masters in the north...
Am just waiting, because I know buhari will win the next election, 2023, they will want a south west president in APC, I believe the SW will need other Southerns to join them defeat the northerner counterpart...
It is at that point they will know they have eaten more than they can chew That's what they don't understand |

When was Jonathan ever indicted or any form of hint possibility of indications from ICC that'll he'll fear them? Compared to Buhari who instigated the murder of several corpers in 2011 for losing the election plus his party members reporting in 2015 they'll run a parallel government if they lose meaning initiating a war compared to a man whom stepped down gracefully, who should be the one in fear of ICC?
Is there any APC member that isn't a complete fool? |

https://all-gists..com/2018/12/fear-of-icc-made-jonathan-to-concede-defeat-falana.html Does it mean that Buhari may answer for crimes committed against the same human nature that Jonathan had earlier spared? He is president so he is not only for APC. |
