Politics › Only Court Can Determine What Is ‘illegal’ – NBA Tackles Tinubu by BrownSugq(op): 10:36pm On Jun 13, 2023*. Modified: 11:02pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
Only Court Can Determine What Is ‘Illegal’ – Nigerian Bar Association Tackles Tinubu On Democracy Day Speech June 13, 2023 NEWS The NBA president further tasked the new government to focus on the immediate issues of national security, economy and administration of justice. The Nigerian Bar Association has told President Bola Tinubu, that the determination of what constitutes “illegal orders” still remains a matter within the exclusive preserve of the courts of law” and not the presidency The NBA made the clarification on Tuesday, in a letter released by its president, Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, in reaction to a statement by the President, during his Democracy Day address, “that the unnecessary illegal orders used to truncate or abridge democracy will no longer be tolerated.” Maikyau, in the letter, reaffirmed that the NBA will at all times “vehemently oppose any attempt by any person or group of persons to truncate or in any way abridge our democracy”, he, however, insisted that the president cannot ascribe to himself that role. The NBA president further tasked the new government to focus on the immediate issues of national security, economy and administration of justice. The letter read in part, “What Nigerians require is a well-thought-out, informed, all-inclusive and purposeful intervention, with as much information made available to the public, to the extent permitted within the parlance, so as to reassure Nigerians of the sincere commitment of the government in the area of security. “Government must be transparent; the people must, by deliberate and conscious investment in manpower development and equipment purchase/procurement, be taken out of the state of fear, which decades of bloodshed and flourishing criminal activities have plunged the country into; the psyche of Nigerians must be recovered from the place of despair and despondency! The right people must be given the task of implementing security plans and policies.” While admitting that the preponderance of views supports the removal of subsidy by the new government, Maikyau noted the need to ameliorate the effect of the removal on the citizens. He said, “What remains, however, is the need to immediately deploy such measures that will address the ensuing difficulties associated with the withdrawal of the subsidy.” “With the level of infrastructural deficits in many respects and the reliance on petroleum products as the primary source of power for most businesses, entrepreneurs, and private users, there is an urgent need to put in place policies that will help cushion the effect of this otherwise laudable decision before its positive impact will begin to be felt or noticed within our socio-economic space.” On the issue of the administration of justice, the NBA President noted that “every aspect of our judicial infrastructure requires fundamental rethinking.” “Our approaches to policing, adjudication, bail, sentencing, and imprisonment need changes in significant ways. Achieving the desired justice system will be a process, not an event.” “Nevertheless, change must be accelerated to keep up with the expectations of Nigerians, particularly those of the poorest and most vulnerable communities. Such change must be thoughtfully planned and carefully managed. We are confident that under your able leadership, Nigeria will be able to respond effectively to these various challenges.” https://saharareporters.com/2023/06/13/only-court-can-determine-what-illegal-nigerian-bar-association-tackles-tinubu-democracyseun mynd44 lalasticlala front Page |

Karnice600:
“...It has become imperative to state here that the unnecessary illegal orders issued to truncate or abridge democracy will no longer be tolerated.”
Now here is it. Read between the lines.
How can Tinubu explain court orders that truncate democracy, when he's already flouting court orders by using DSS to witch hunt Emefiele?
What is Tinubu's meaning of democracy? Did he mean to say his ambitions? Because last I checked he employed the most undemocratic maneuvers to grab that position.
Tinubu is subtly telling Nigerians that he'll only obey court orders when it suits him. That also means he'll undermine the Judiciary's effort to fault the electoral process that ushered him into power.
Now this is Buhari reloaded. Una never see anything. Awon 'the government will favor my family' crew. Una go hear am.
I laff in Portuguese Thank you |

Insane people going to the military headquarters to ask them to plot a coup will now face the consequences. Same for wailing loser politicians on social media masquerading as freedom fighters. Read the Headline again and tell me if Datti is the court that issues Order? Most of you BATIST are big time morons |

The President is perfectly in order and the next National Assembly must enact laws to refer those slammed by the courts to be tried by the police and DSS. You know you are lying, the Illegitimate President just threatened the President election Tribunal and you are here saying nonsense |

Politics › Court Orders Issued To Truncate Democracy Won’t Be Tolerated - Tinubu by BrownSugq(op): 2:30pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
President Bola Tinubu says court orders issued to truncate Nigeria’s democracy will no longer be tolerated.
He stated this on the occasion of the 2023 Democracy Day on Monday, June 12.
Democracy Day is celebrated yearly on June 12 in honour of the winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola and other heroes of democracy.
Addressing Nigerians on Monday, Nigeria’s newly inaugurated President said the 2023 general elections showed that democracy is well alive in Nigeria.
According to him, the beauty of democracy is that winners today can lose tomorrow and losers today can win elections tomorrow.
Politicians have obtained court orders to upturn the electoral victories of opponents and occupy offices. In some cases, conflicting court orders on elections have left the public confused. But the President said “illegal orders” won’t be condoned.
“For Chief MKO Abiola, the symbol of this day, in whose memory June 12 became a national holiday, democracy is eternal,” Tinubu said.
“It is about rule of law and vibrant judiciary that can be trusted to deliver justice and strengthen institutions. It has become imperative to state here that the unnecessary illegal orders issued to truncate or abridge democracy will no longer be tolerated.”
The President further said the recent harmonisation of the retirement age for judicial officers is meant to strengthen the rule of law.
“The recent harmonisation of the retirement age for judicial officers is meant to strengthen the rule of law, which is a critical pillar of democracy. The reform has just started.
“The democracy that will yield right dividends to the people who are the shareholders means more than just freedom of choice and right to get people into elective offices. It means social and economic justice for our people,” he said. https://www.channelstv.com/2023/06/12/court-orders-issued-to-truncate-democracy-wont-be-tolerated-tinubu/

Donjazet2: All nigerians should be fully aware that many of the pro APC \tinubu accounts you see here are not casual users and commenters like you and I but a coordinated sophisticated propaganda network that employs people to parrot the party's talking points and attack the opposition.
Don't fall prey to the APC's propaganda. Don't let them use your head and influence your opinions.
I don't know why more people don't highlight this.
Once you see accounts of seunmssg, parachokoo, ilegendheroo, know that these are not casual users but paid propagandists with multiple accounts used to generate "likes" corresponding to similar likes on pro-obi posts.
Use your head. We know |

Confirmedzombie: The OP left the thread cos he is disappointed with obi and his lawyers.
Everyone was expecting that the video to be played deals with how elections were rigged according to obi not know it is Inec chairman press briefing.
To keep the records straight, only the company that obi can use to validate the press briefing as we all remember the INEC chairman explained in live TV the difficulties they experienced.
Obi has disappointed his supporters hence the thread is now quiet and OP gone back to his business You are always talking nonsense |

You cannot be satisfied because you have created a standard you are not even living up to.
Or did you not list poverty and security?
Can a sane mind expect poverty to be eliminated in 2weeks?
