THERE are strong indications that the Federal Government may have placed two governors from the Southern part of the country on a watch-list. A source from the Presidency said the governors are from the South-west and South-south.

The decision to place them under watch, the source said stemmed from their activities which, he said, were “clearly anti-Nigeria.
Their activities have negative security implications.”

Sunday Sun learnt that the governors would no longer be allowed to travel overseas unless they are given permission by key security outfits and officials. The order to this effect, the source said, had been handed to all security organisations and relevant offices. The directive was said to have been issued three weeks ago.

The source said the memo was explicit that any of the affected governors must, as a matter of compulsion, “see the Director General in Abuja” before being allowed to embark on foreign trips.

Asked if the move would not be a negation of constitutional rights of the governors as officials who enjoy immunity and who operate in a federal system, the source disagreed.

He argued that the immunity was not being tampered with, stressing that a number of security questions were involved.

According to him, “the government is moving to stop any form of infractions and the process does not infringe upon the immunity of any of the actors. I believe that none of the officials would be stopped from embarking on trips unnecessarily.”

On what would happen if the affected governors refuse to comply with the new order, the source disclosed that they would be prevented by the security from boarding their flights.

“The security knows what to do in the case of any of them failing to get the required clearance before embarking on trips abroad.

He will be prevented from boarding his flight,” he said.

So you support a man making such disparaging comment about his own mother in the public?

Na wa for you ooooo.

simplycarro:


He has not committed any crime in saying that about his mother, you can fault his discretion.
We should never support a president at all times simply because we voted for him, that is blind patriotism.
If this report is true, Buhari is clearly breaching the constitution.

DropShot:

I haven't even supported the president on this. However, he is empowered by the Constitution to bring security and economic saboteurs to book using the extant laws. The DSS and other security agencies are well positioned to know their activities beyond what you and I know and they cannot look the other way if they have evidence against them.

Having immunity should not mean freedom to engage in unpatriotic ventures against your country.
