Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), said the real reason former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat in 2015 was because of the arrest and prosecution warning issued by the International Criminal Court ahead of the elections.

He said prior to the elections, ICC had warned that should there be any violence and crimes against humanity, any leader responsible would be arrested and prosecuted the same way the ex-President of Cote d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, was prosecuted.

According to a statement made available to journalists on Monday, Falana said this at the inauguration of the League of Anambra Professionals Legal Defence Initiative, held in Lagos over the weekend.

The lawyer added that for fear of ICC, no Nigerian leader dared annul election again like a former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd.), did in 1993.

He also dismissed the fear that President Muhammadu Buhari might be unwilling to leave office if he should lose next year’s election.

Falana said, “Unlike in 1993 when the military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, successfully annulled an election, that is no longer possible.

“Whoever does that now will end up in The Hague. He is likely to be tried for crimes against humanity because if you annul an election, you are likely to have a monumental violence in the country which will lead to crimes against humanity.

“Before the 2015 elections, the ICC warned that if there was any problem in Nigeria, anybody who was responsible would be arrested and charged like former President Laurent Gbagbo of Cote d’Ivoire. That was the atmosphere under which President Goodluck conceded victory.”

Falana said he decided to speak on the issue in order to assure Nigerians that election could no longer be annulled in Nigeria.

This, he said, was important because of the fear that had been expressed that if Buhari lost election, he might not want to hand over.

“That belongs to the past,” he declared.

A former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, on his part said the clamour for restructuring must be viewed contextually as “Nigeria had been in the process of restructuring since 1903.”

Who cares why, what is important is he conceded. Something makes many people do right things - sometimes the fear of hell. Another person could have still refused, caused mayhem and later face the consequences. It still takes a man with a large heart to spared his nation bloodshed and conceded defeat. People like Falana should spend time now advising Buhari to allow for a free, free and violence-free election. Jonathan is in the past, what they had wished for, he didn't do. They should leave Jonathan alone and face the future with Buhari.

Absolutely correct...Baba Jonah don't want to be a scale goat ..and fall fool..

Jonathan has Laurent Gbogbo in his mind

This guy has so sold his respect under APC

There was only one Gani Fawehinmi. No before or after him. He never sold out like Falana

Jonathan is a tragic hero

Nobody should dream that Buhari will lose any election, talk more of handing over, Baba is going to win by a landslide.

This one has started again with imaginary allusions. Gani Fawehinmi was never this daft.

SO THE ICC WAS BLINDED IN THE MIDDLE BELT AND NORTH EAST MASS KILLINGS BY FULANI HERDS MEN? GEJ DID WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY AND NOT FEAR OF ICC. HE VALUE HUMAN'S LIFE MORE THAN CATTLES

And this is coming from a SAN, I never knew going to court to contest an election marred with underage voters is now a crime which could warrant an arrest from ICC, thought men are suppose to get wiser when they grow older seems reverse is the case of Falana

Seems this man's brain is gradually wearing out each passing day. Always talking with 2 sides of the mouth.

All these careless talkers! Be talking what they have no idea about...Jonathan dey fear? He arranged and inititiated a free n fair election. Ofcos zombies wont understand cos they feed on flesh n blood

he turned osinbajo to stamarer overnight

What did ICC do after 2012 general election when innocent citizen were killed.

Exactly

This Gani Fawehimi wannabe said nothing when the president refused to sign the electoral amendment bill , he occupied nowhere when fuel was increased from N87 to N145 even with double subsidy, all the Mainagate, Gandollargate, Aishagate, Burataigate etc he has said nothing but when it comes to GEJ, he becomes a human right lawyer cos he knows GEJ is gentle. He should try nonsense with Bubu and he will know there are different types of water:hot water and cold water

Am a pure Yoruba man undiluted,, but i agree with u on this... At times i wonder who certified that falana as a lawyer.. Anytime i see him on TV,, i always change d channel.. If u are not Gani,, u can neva be like fawehimi..

Nigerianization:
Jonathan is just a good man, plain and simple.

Buhari is also a man of integrity and would accept the outcome of the 2019 elections no matter the results.

ICC can go to hell. Have they arrested Al Bashir of Sudan or
Kenyatta of kenya and his deputy?

There are always countries ready to give these leaders asylum if need be.

Or Assad of Syria

ICC is just a western tool to oppress. They need to be in North Korea.

No good man will watch as innocent blood of Nigerians were being wasted in the North east and have the mind sharing money meant for ammunition to wage the war to traditional rulers and politicians. I don't even want to go into his insensitivity on the chibok girls kidnap.

This falana is a very big goat. What would ICC have done if Jonathan didn't conceded defeat? Which crime did he commit against humanity? Femi falana is just plain foolish

For me, his self acclaimed empirical thesis eulogize and encomiums GEJ because only a good leader that love his subject can exhibit that, ask the Gbagbo, Mugabe, Ghadafi etc.

Check how PMB would react next year his turn.

I don't understand how south west leaders behave, it will be clear soon

They have made it so clear that they are not part of the south giving the north the power they have ruling this nation...

Anyone who watched the last debate will see the intellectual capacity of the south above the north....

But the south west will always push the south down joining their masters in the north...

Am just waiting, because I know buhari will win the next election, 2023, they will want a south west president in APC, I believe the SW will need other Southerns to join them defeat the northerner counterpart...
It is at that point they will know they have eaten more they can chew

In as much as they did not need other southerners in 2015 and don't need them now as well, they will definitely not need them in 2023

IamD18:
Your claim even made Jonathan more reasonable, unlike a bloody terrorist in Aso rock who'll rather see millions of Nigerians dead than to accept defeat.

The problem I have with some of you is, you just talk on every and issue without one iota of retrospection.
How is Buhari a terrorist now?
Did he kill your family?

Are you serious @ Bolded? When the SW supported Jonathan it was good, when the SW agitated that the death of Yaradua should not stop GEJ, there was no problem.
GEJ and his friends thought they could buy the SW with the nations money.

Say no to ethnic bigotry!

You must be smoking shisha, Mr Falana.

This Intergrity challenged charlatan, again

That's because u think the north will support the south leaving their own from the north..

Like I said, very soon we will see the true nature of this nation......

No SW candidate can beat atiku..... Hope u agree with this, the northern numbers will always play in.....

2023 will be a funny year ... 2019 is a walkover for buhari.... 2023 will endup tearing APC apart
