Since the constitution is silent about it, it's unconstitutional. Constitution can't speak on all things. All we can do is to abide by the constitution.

Nonsense judiciary. Only Buhari will make Nigeria experience such ignoble development

A smart lawyer would have withdrawn the suit when Buhari appointed a new IGP.

Since the constitution is silent on that. It becomes unconstitutional to act outside of what the constitution stipulates on the tenure of public office holders as regards max years of service.

CoolAmbience:
Try and be analytical for once.

If the same constitution that empowers the President to appoint an IGP is silent on if the IGP's tenure could be extended by the President, what is the implication of that?

For me, it is commonsensical. The lawyer who went to court is clearly dumb just as many of his colleagues.

How many of your people are willing to join the police and expose their lives to danger? All you want is IGP position.

Abeg, make we hear word.

Justice Mohammed justifies President Muhammadu’s appointment of IGP Mohammed.
Did the public expect otherwise from the court?

They're talking abt legal power of President not what your ears want to hear. Blaming somebody for alleged fault system is a sign of hypocrisy, the system shld be blamed instead.


On the other hand, Maxwell Opara, is a legal practitioner with poor knowledge of the system he practices. He is in the same place with Falana, who uses technicalities to deceive citizens!
shut up
