We're all living witnesses to what he did when DSS invaded NASS. Then he was acting as the President. That appears to be the root of his perceived problems in the Presidency.

Besides, what can he do when the C in C is in charge?

I remain adamant that Falana is a very useless man ..like the typical coward he is instead of blaming Buhari who is responsible for all this he has instead chosen a softer target in the person of Osinbanjo . Why is Falana always scared of mentioning Buharis name ? Under Jonathan did you ever here Falana blame the VP Sambo? Hell no they always blame Jonathan even for problems caused by governors because they saw Jonathan as a soft target .. Falana leave Osinbanjo out of this he has tried his best , Osinbanjo is yet to recover from the last time he interfered and sacked the DSS boss andBuhari has been silently punishing him since then ..
What is he going to do to.buhari?
Would you waste your time on a mad man?
What would you benefit from that?

Isn't it better to focus on the one with a bit of sense in the whole architecture.

Buhari is a dumb brute. There is no point talking to him.

How will you speak gull of the man that pay your salary who can fire you anytime. even if you are going to tell Buhari was wrong, you must be ready to quit your job.

Until ppl give no Bleep about being fired whil in Govt, we will remain in this malady and doldrums.

But Thieves are too many, if you are clean and sure no one can trace anything to you to nail you( just like Mimiko while he served under OBJ as a housing Minister whom Obj planned to finish but came out immaculate) then you won't be afriad of the aftermath ripples of leaving a Govt.

So he knows Buhari is a dumb brute yet he supported and voted for him in both 2015 and 2019 .. shey you can see how useless Falana is ? and now he wants to heap blames on a helpless VP that is facing his own crisis silently ..If y'all know what Osinbanjo is passing through in Aso Rock you will leave him out of this

I personally think osinbajo could have acted differently I see him as someone with a certain amount of discipline and humanity, but at times like this you need to stand for what is right,silence is betrayal, in an attempt not to take sides by not speaking or acting about it,you have already taken side by supporting tyranny

Hurrahhhhhhh!

Just like Abacha era, once Buhari's tenure ends, some people will appear from obscurity to announce how they fought Buhari. You will never hear of them now.

Buhari is comfortable because his stay in Aso Rock has not been threatened. Men have turned into sycophants with no ambitions. If it were the good old days of IBB and Abacha, Nigeria will be shaking by now.

It's unfortunate that Femi Falana, Omoyele Sowore, Tunde Bakare, Tinubu, occupy Nigeria Ojota protesters etc all enthroned this tyrannic govt despite knowing past Buhari's antecedents in the histroy of Nigeria.

Now the tiger have bare its fangs, they now remember due process.Well that said, this is truly a pivotal basis for the stooge-CJN, NJC, League of Benchers, NBA & all Nigerians of conscience to rise up against this continued bastardization of legal & democratic process in this nation.

The AGF should have long invited the DSS boss or Mr.President that he is answerable to explain all these lawlessness or give reason why they should not be committed to prison for violating the Nigerian constitution.

Meanwhile, dspots & tyrannts have no regard for the rule of law.Only a mass revolt & divine intervention can salvage this country.

can you move past this already?

Buhari has no knowledge of law ? Meaning he is a wild animal yet people like Falan advised Nigerians to vote in such a person. ? So y'all know Buhari has no knowledge of law so what do you want the VP to go and tell him ? You people dont want to be realistic .. Osinbanjo dare not say anything about Buharis style of governance or the send him packing

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), who leads Mr Omoyele Sowore’s defence team, has asked the Nigerian Bar Association to take disciplinary actions against lawyers in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet over what he described as desecration of the court with Sowore’s rearrest at the Federal High Court in Abuja, causing a disruption of court proceedings.

He said his legal team would meet on Saturday to determine the next line of action.

He said there were 10 lawyers with four of them Senior Advocates of Nigeria, who ought to live up to their oath to defend the Constitution and other laws of the country, by ensuring that the rule of law was observed by the government.

The SANs in the cabinet are Vice President Yemi Osinbajon (SAN), Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of State for Labour, Mr Festus Keyamo; and Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

He said, “Even though President Muhammadu Buhari has a duty to caution the Department of State Services, the blame of the desecration of the court today (Friday) rests squarely on lawyers in government, who are under a duty to ensure that the rule of law is observed.

The SANs in the cabinet are Vice President Yemi Osinbajon (SAN), Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of State for Labour, Mr Festus Keyamo; and Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

He said, “Even though President Muhammadu Buhari has a duty to caution the Department of State Services, the blame of the desecration of the court today (Friday) rests squarely on lawyers in government, who are under a duty to ensure that the rule of law is observed.

“They have all taken the oath to respect the Constitution and other laws of the country. That Constitution guarantees the independence and impartiality of the courts.

“They therefore cannot sit in a cabinet under a regime that terrorises the courts and subverts the rule of law.

“It is a matter the Nigerian Bar Association should take up against the lawyers in the cabinet by instituting disciplinary proceedings against them.”

Faulting the arrest of his client, he described it as contemptuous.

He also noted that it was not backed by any arrest warrant or detention order of court.

He said, “There is no warrant of arrest, there is no detention order. What the DSS did today was the height of contempt of court.

“Nobody is above the law. You either abolish the courts or allow them to function effectively.

“This is a situation where the DSS operatives invaded the court and forced the judge to adjourn proceedings; they chased the judge out of her court, disrupted the proceedings and forced the judge to adjourn all cases.

“These are manifestations of fascism, which cannot be accepted in any civilised society. This has never happened in Nigeria where you take over a court forcefully in order to arrest an unarmed citizen.

“You remember that it was the illegal invasion of the National Assembly by masked DSS men that led to the dismissal of the former DG, DSS, by this government.

“So for the same barbaric conduct to occur again is unacceptable. This is a regime that parades 10 senior lawyers, including four Senior Advocates of Nigeria.”

Asked if he had been informed of any reason why his client was rearrested or whether he was going to be freshly, he said “no”

That's why the blackman can NEVER be like the whiteman...we don't have the same kinda brain.

Many people have resigned from the Trump administration because of clash of interests.

In Nigeria, resignation is a taboo.


Since 1999, the only minister who has willingly resigned from her job because she has a different view from that of her boss is Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. I have never seen another.

We need to change our mentality in this country.

No. This is not the solution.

We, Nigerians, are the solution.

If Nigerians are aware of their rights, by now, Nigeria would be on fire because of this. The streets of Abuja would have been flooded with protesters because our collective rights have been raped by those we entrust to protect us. No chief of army staff or police boss would quell legitimate protests or kill protesters if the number is overwhelming. It is also an international crime. Buhari would have been forced to fire the DSS boss, like Osinbajo did when our national assembly was desecrated by the DSS. He would have been forced to address the nation and plead for calm.

Until Nigerians get fed up and enforce their rights, this nonsense would continue to play out. Freedom and liberation from oppression comes with a price. We either chose to pay it or we chose to accept the norm. It is Sowore today, who might it be tomorrow?

I agree!
