A leopard never loses its spots Buhari showed that with his executive order on anti corruption he is still an impatient dictator who must have his way all the time! The executive order just like his military decrees looks well intended in the first instance but make no mistake it is designed to be used as a tool to intimidate political opponents There are enough laws through the courts to fight corruption. The problem with fight against corruption is that the prosecution is very weak and have failed to investigate their cases with due deligence and produce real evidence This executive order must be challenged in court otherwise Nigeria will descend into tyranny before our eyes 1 Like |

He has the right and the support of the Nigerian public that votes him in. It's all well and good when legislators use their privilege to pad the budget but wrong for the President to wield the stick on corrupt individuals. 2 Likes |

GavelSlam:The executive order is within the armbit of the law. So it's democratic order not dictatorial one. Somebody steal 400 million can use the money to fight the government in court if not for this newly executive order. |

FriendNG:The executive order is not meant to be used to circumvent the rule of law, that’s what Buhari is doing here. Justice is slow everywhere in the world.expecially in a democracy. The Nigerian constitution assumes all citizens are innocent until proven guilty. The constitution also gives us a right to life and property Buhari is by this executive order arrogating to himself the powers of the court! The separation of power and the role of the judiciary is also under attack here Buhari is expressing his dictatorial and tyrannical tendencies here This executive order should be challenged by the Nigerian Bar Association! |

The U.S. Supreme Court has held[6] that all executive orders from the President of the United States must be supported by the Constitution, whether from a clause granting specific power, or by Congress delegating such to the executive branch.[7] Specifically, such orders must be rooted in Article II of the US Constitution or enacted by the congress in statutes. Attempts to block such orders have been successful at times when such orders exceeded the authority of the president or could be better handled through legislation.[8]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order |
