In the eight-page memo of May 4, 2021, Mr Malami argued that insecurity across Nigeria has reached a level that could no longer be checked by existing democratic techniques.

President Muhammadu Buhari is in the process of declaring a state of emergency across the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Peoples Gazette can report based on a secret memo and official accounts, as the administration scrambles to waggle its way out of acute insecurity and the encumbrances of constitutional provisions.

Attorney-General Abubakar Malami has already written lengthy legal advice to the Nigerian president, urging him to move swiftly to suspend the fundamental rights of all Nigerians as guaranteed under Chapter IV of the Constitution.

In the eight-page secret memo dated May 4, 2021, Mr Malami told Mr Buhari that insecurity across Nigeria has reached a level that could no longer be checked by existing democratic techniques, saying only a state of emergency promulgated by the president can help return the country to tranquillity.

“The essence of declaration is to allow for suspension of constitutional and legal bureaucratic bottlenecks pertaining to matters of National Security with particular regards to fundamental rights guaranteed under Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution and processes and procedures relating to procurements, among others,” the attorney-general said.

Mr Malami said the president should issue instruments of emergency and publish them in the federal gazette. Senate President Ahmed Lawan and Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila will be informed about the decision ahead of implementation, he added.

“To douse probable legal tension, it is important for the proclamation instrument of the statement of emergency to expressly provide for the suspension of Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution and its attendant enforcement rules,” Mr Malami wrote. “The suspension of rights pertaining to matters of national security will then give legal backing for the proclamation of the statement of emergency to be operational and effective without litigious or judicial distractions.”

In the early pages of the document, Mr Malami cited widespread acts of insecurity and blamed prominent separatist agitators like Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu for fueling the protracted crisis that has enveloped the country and aggravated the social and economic conditions of Nigerians.

The memo was endorsed to the president by National Security Adviser Babagana Monguno and administration officials are divided on how to proceed with the advice.

“Clearly, different factions of our government have different positions on this alarming proposal,” a presidency official told The Gazette. “But everyone agrees that the AGF holds powerful sway over the president and it would be a miracle if the Constitution is not suspended as he recommended.”

Another official also within the presidency, who confirmed hearing about the memo but had not seen it before they were reached by The Gazette, said Mr Buhari might have little resistance considering the potency of Mr Malami’s argument.

“The president is just saying they should act in the best interest of the country,” the official said. “Even as the president, he seemed to have given up on his own ability to get the AGF to back down.”

Something is brewing, something I can't say. This dullard and his cohorts have evil plans ahead of 2023. I doubt there will be election, talk less of him handing over. I shuddered when listened to his video and heard "third term". God help us.

For the attorney general of the federation to aske the president to suspend the constitution is alarming.

This is the crust of the matter
Every other security challenge in the country means nothing to those in authority. Secession is threat level 4 and priority number 1

This is alarming Citizens must rise up and chase those idiots out of power especially Malami and his follow cabals

If Buhari tries that I doubt if there won't be a coup.

Their plan exactly. Suspend the law and let their loyal boys in thr army take over then comes free and direct implementation of their evil agenda.


.

The future is BUHARI

Terrible Buhari

It seems they are preparing the ground work to cling onto power come 2023.

Coming from a baised AG.

These government has found another way to implement the evil Nigerians has been resisting in the guise of suspending the Nigerian Constitution.

This is not about insurgency but the evil in this government.
And Nigerians must resist it.

I strongly believe that our leaders are cursed with a very strong spell.

Even a mad man knows that our problem is resource control. Osinbajo also believes in economic restructuring.

With economic restructuring where each state is given the chance to manage their resources and only give a fraction to the central government there will be no need for oduduwa, Arewa or Biafra Republic cos that madness of robbing peter to pay paul will stop.

The question now is ...''Why is it difficult for the federal government to restructure and do away with the scam in the name of the present constitution''?

You refuse to restructure so that the people will be happy Yet you have made it so hard for them to break away to have their own sovereignty .If your wife is complaining about something, if you truly want the woman to stay in your life shebbi you will address the issue and if you don't care that means you don't want the lady anymore so you simply let go.

Now tell me if these leader are not operating under a serious curse or perhaps there is a demonic spirit in Aso rock turning their brains up-side-down such that when they are in power they become clueless and after they leave office they turn to national advisers.

Awon were.

Oct 2022

Mark down the date and activate your plan B

Malami is actually dumb. That will easily crash the country. It will be an all out war....

These people actually lack tactics ain't they?

Suspend the constitution in a democratic settings? Same constitution that brought you in? Same constitution you swore an oath to protect?

These people must believe they are ruling dumbass citizens.

Country gradually going to the dogs....

Kai

Buhari has no plan of handing over to any powerful politician in the south because he has yet to achieve northern agenda due to insecurity and economic crisis.
With agitation in south west and south east, it would be very difficult for south to accept power to remain in the north.
Southern president would spell doom for the north. Northern agenda would be neutralized.
Even military coup would not help north now.
North is confused.
I am very sure they are regretting creating unnecessary problems for GEJ. If GEJ had won, Buhari would have never be president and north could have presented agile northerner to implement northern agenda smoothly.

This is the problem,when you put square pegs in round holes,imagine a man supposedly meant to be a legal luminary,advising the 'presidency',sorry the president,to subvert the law he is suppose to uphold. A nation where nepotism has been made a national policy by an incompetent leader,where rascals now take decisions on behalf of decent men.
In the said leaked memo,no mention of Fulani terrorist herdsmen genocide against indigenous tribes or their brother boko haram,but all you hear is Sunday Igboho or Nnamdi Kanu.
Nigeria is in the hand of those who don't mean well for this nation but only cares about how much they can loot. The day of reckoning is fast approaching,if you know you know. I rest my case!!!!

This is very alarming and troubling indeed

But waiting to see

This is just a door opener for the Fulani Jihad in 2022.

Nigeria is going, going.....
