Buhari Should Stop Mocking Democracy With ‘ojuju Calabar’ Trial – Fayose by zinachidi(op): 8:01am On Feb 21, 2016

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has charged Nigerians to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to purge himself “of the blood and water of dictatorship flowing in his veins”.

He stressed that the Federal Government’s attempt to secretly try the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, by using mask-wearing prosecution witnesses is a mockery of democracy.

The Governor, in a release issued on Saturday by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, said “it is shameful that the Federal Government could approach the court for witnesses in a criminal matter it is prosecuting to wear mask and be seen through screen.”

He added that even the prosecuting counsel, who filed the application, should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be used as tools to subvert democracy.

According to the statement, “They want Kanu tried secretly. They also want the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) tried secretly. What are they afraid of?

“How can the Federal Government asked the court to allow ‘ojuju calabar’ (masquerade) as prosecution witnesses when we are not under military rule?

“How would such witnesses be cross-examined by defence lawyers and can their real identity be ascertained?

“Should anyone make allegations that he cannot be bold enough to defend in the law court? Why are the witnesses afraid to testify in an open court if truly they are witnesses of truth?

“Clearly, this is mockery of democracy and the rule of law and Nigerians should know that it is their duty to purge President Buhari of dictatorship,” Fayose stated.

While applauding the judiciary for rising in the defence of democracy by saying no to the anti-democratic plot of using masquerade as witnesses, he said; “As it is now, only the judiciary can save Nigeria from the full-blown dictatorship that this Buhari-led APC government has become.

“Interestingly, they are not even sparing the bench from their regime of blackmail and dictatorship, and it has become necessary for our men of the bench to continue to stand firm against enemies of democracy and rule of law.”

Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.

I have never heard this guy comment on the work he is doing in Ekiti state. When a man proposes a budget of 67 billion naira, that is half of Ebonyi state's budget, then you know he has no vision.

Just pay salaries ( that's if he is not withdrawing it back) and talk rubbish in the media every day.

Fayose might be right, this Buhari's govt, do not follow the laws before arresting, they accuse someone of theft, take the accused to court and them before searching for proof, this is just like intimidation. olisa Mentu's case was an example.

quota system product. Why do they want to use yorubas to as witnesses against kanu and trying to hide their faces?
We want to see their faces and boldness as they testify against kanu.

its better to propose a budget of 67billion than to propose an unrealistic 200billion budget like d state of Osun

Not saying Baba is vindictive and would come for his pound of flesh, but does Fayose know his tenure would end a year before Buhari's?? What happens when his immunity is gone??

No one is saying he shouldn't criticise, but what's gonna happen to him if he does so with decency instead of always sounding like an agbero??

I feel Baba is being too much of a democrat for my liking. Remember Dariye, remember this same uncouth and garrulous scaremonger, what Obj did to them. Despite all the evidence against this man, Baba has yet to turn on the heat on him.

Smh.
