Buhari is not schooled hence the true meaning of rule of law is not known to him.
How do you a person who does not have a school certificate that only rise through military training to understand rule of law.
I only pity the gullible one who follows him sheepishly

“Those who may be telling the President that oh! You are fighting corruption, put Nigerians on the stakes and shoot them to death, don’t even try them! They are deceiving Mr. President. When the chips are down, Mr. President would see that those were his greatest enemies,” he said.

Ozekhome is getting emotional by bringing in Jonathan and the issue of his wife's grammatical blunders, who is deceiving who? is it because PMB has not allowed himself to be deceived like they [including Ozekhome] deceived Jonathan?

ChristStriker:
He said: “Under the Yar’Adua /Jonathan period, you could abuse president Jonathan. People described him as clueless; some politicians even described him as the drunken Ijaw boy. They ridiculed and caricatured Patience Jonathan with her mode and manner of speaking but never for one day did we hear a writer or journalist being picked up for that.

“Even if Nigerians were hungry, Nigerians enjoyed one thing in the last administration which was respect for fundamental human rights. I am afraid that under the present government of President Buhari, the rule of law is being observed more in breach than in compliance.”

Lair!!!

What Rotimi Amaechi suffered under Jonathan no man can ever experience such let alone a sitting governor. Amaechi's jet was grounded, his car was stopped, his security detail was withdrawn, the stadium was shut, 7 honourables in the house impeached 22 to unseat him, he was publicly insulted by the wife of the President, etc Where were you then sir?

When the car carrying Alhaji Lai Muhammed, Rotimi Amaechi ,etc to Ekiti was stopped and PDP members cars that met them on the road were allowed to enter Ekiti where were you?

When the current governor of Kaduna was locked in the hotel and was given house arrest in Anambra where were you? When Ali Mohammed and others were arrested by DSS under Marilyn Ogar for wandering in the eve to Osun State last election where were you?

When the Office of APC in Lagos (Ikeja) was burgled and all their data systems were carted away by DSS with no reason where were you? Till today nothing was brought out of the case.

Please stop being partisan as a lawyer. Both Mike Ozokheme and Barrister Onangoruwa are PDP members parading as neutral individuals.
