Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram

Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states.

Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.

this is serious

tempest01:
In as much as using the security apparatus for rigging, and I condem it in totality,

There is hardly an election in Nigeria that is not rigged or influenced to favour the party inpower.

You cannot change the umpire in the middle of the match.

GEJ cannot unilaterally remove Jega. This is a democracy not an authoritarian state

I've told them before and I will tell then again.

This election is now PDP vs Nigerians (those ones that want the progress of this nation), all thanks to GEJ.

nigerianchoice:
In the interest of full disclosure, let me say from the outset that this piece is nonpartisan. It is, instead, an apolitical academic exercise, primarily intended as a simple legal treatise, without being personal, on the legalities of tenure of Prof Attahiru Jega as INEC Chairman. Having said that, let me then give reasons why Jega’s tenure legally or actually comes to end on March 24, 2015, instead of the presumptive June 24, 2015.

Jega was appointed by President Jonathan on June 8, 2010, and confirmed by the Senate on June 24, 2010. Under the law, his tenure runs for five years. Mathematically, therefore his tenure ‘exactly’ ends on June 24, 2015, counting from the date of Senate confirmation.

But accordingly to extant rules and our time-honored conventions, his tenure ‘actually’ comes to an end on March 24 because he is required, without more, to compulsorily proceed on terminal leave three months to the mathematical end of his tenure. And this is being very generous because, if you go by the ‘doctrine of relation back’, a strong case can be made that his terminal leave shall commence on March 8 (the date he was appointed), instead of March 24 (the date he was confirmed).

For those who might argue otherwise, there are legions of precedents, including, most notably, that of Jega’s predecessor, Prof Maurice Iwu. Iwu’s tenure was due to expire on June 13, 2010. However, on April 28, 2010, then acting President Jonathan, ordered Iwu to proceed on terminal leave. That Iwu’s own terminal leave was less than three months to his mathematical five years was probably a matter of expediency of that turbulent era and presidential grace, to boot.

In recent times, we have seen other equally constitutionally-tenured public servants proceed on terminal leave before the exact date of expiration of their tenure. Here are few examples. Former IGP Abubakar’s tenure was due to end on July 30, 2014 but he proceeded or was sent on terminal leave on May 12, 2014. Former Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Dahiru Musdapher voluntarily proceeded on terminal leave three months before the constitutional or mathematical end of his tenure. Ditto for former PCA, Justice Salami, even though his own was somewhat exceptional because he was on suspension when his terminal leave clock began to tick. I might add that Salami fought his for its exceptional equities but still lost. Jega has no such equities.

To underscore that there are no exceptions, the Federal Government, in a well-received circular issued by the former Head of Service, Alhaji Isa Bello Sali, had “called on those affected to comply with immediate effect by observing the three months terminal leave as provided for in the extant Rules”. Unarguably, those affected included, without exceptions, all public servants that have constitutional or legal tenure, either based on fixed tenure-track, as in the case of Iwu, Jega, etc; or straight retirement based on 35 years service (the IGP) or age (Justice Musdapher).

According to the circular, which is captioned ‘Three Months Pre-Retirement/Terminal Leave’, the government stated that “It has been observed that the mandatory notice of retirement for officers who are due to retire is not being observed as provided for in the extant rules. Accordingly, it has become necessary to reiterate the provisions of Public Service Rules (PSR) 100238 which states that officers are required to give three months notice of their retirement from service terminating on the effective date of their retirement”. For avoidance of doubt, the term retirement, in context, applies, mutatis mutandis, to those on fixed tenure like Jega.

The circular was addressed and sent to the Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Justice of the Federation, all Ministers, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police, Chairman Federal Civil Service Commission, the Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Others are Heads of extra-ministerial departments, the Accountant-General of the Federation, Auditor-General of the Federation, Surveyor-General of the Federation, Directors-General/chief executives of parastatals and agencies.

So, as we can see from above, it is left for Jega to decide between these two options: It is either he voluntarily proceeds on his terminal leave by March 24, 2015, or he may be forced to do so by executive fiat. If, however, he is emboldened to sit tight, he has to know that any extra day he spends in office beyond March 24 is not by any force of law but by the sheer good graces of President Jonathan.

JONATHAN SHOW US YOUR DOCTORAL THESIS CERTIFICATE TOO

Candour:
Like play like play, our govt is engaging in a macabre dance and we the citizens are simply choosing sides. Our recent history ought to remind us that what affects the eyes will surely reflect on the nose but we have chosen to be forgetful.

I hope those who rode into power on the back of citizen action will remember the same citizens in their calculations and scheming to retain power at all cost. If anything, Jonathan has proved the long standing truth that

"Never you vouch for a man's character until you give him access to money and power"

The 'humble christian' man is showing he learnt very well from his mentors

I ve seen Nairaland evolve..since 2006...never has it been like this...i even saw seun attack a guy in a very undignified way on a thread on presidential debate and i must say i have been hugely dissapointed.

i do admit i support Buhari in this election? which sane human wont? however, the admins and moderators are not allowed such open display of bias expecially in the postin of materials on the front page...

I think the administrators of this forum should pause and ask themselves serious questions...are you for yourselves and your pockets or for the people who make this forum tick?

I hope you know i also support GEJ in 2011.The man looks nice and ready to help people ,but he does not know economics .He just made some few people rich leaving a large % of the population poor. Food and Power are very essential in creating wealth

bankyman:
Lol..... I am only making a point, I haven't tried to justify anything if you read my comments properly, I only wanted people to rationalize their thought before putting it down. I'd rather prefer to make points based on patterns of events and not isolating incidents and generalizing these isolated bleeps.
