That is how it's supposed to be if not for Buhari

Not only bubu, even hell rufah who decimated Christians, denied them of 2nd in command & destroyed their traditional institutions.

SilverNorGold:
Although I am an avid supporter of President Buhari cos of his many stellar achievements, honesty and integrity, it's things like this(his softness) that's making me not very happy with him. Why sit and watch wicked elements and fake news purveyors run this country aground? What's stopping him from declaring war on enemies of Nigeria and fake news merchants?

President Buhari is TOO SOFT for my liking.. If he were Obasanjo or Yaradua or Goodluck Jonathan, would criminal elements like Sowore, Aisha Yesufu and their cohorts dare attempt one quarter of the nonsense that he (President Mohammadu Buhari) has tolerated from them?

This is sad.. President Buhari should do something to nip this nonsense in the bud as quickly as possible before it gets out of hand!

And by the way, what happened to the Social Media regulation bill? Seriously, I am not happy with the way things are going.. I just hope Nigeria survive the wrath of these fake news vicars before PMB comes up with a decisive solution.

May God help Nigeria.

What do you expect...?
As usual vegetables are soft and weak that's why Boko haram, bandits, kidnappers, pen robbers and armed robbers are prevailing.

Lopsided appointments: NASS gets 30 days to respond to suit against Buhari


November 18, 2020



The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, on Wednesday, gave the National Assembly, 30 days to respond to the suit that elder statesmen and leaders of socio-cultural groups in the Southern and Middle Belt regions of the country, filed to challenge alleged lopsided appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The sixteen elder statesmen told the court that most appointments President Buhari made since the inception of his administration in 2015, were in breach of the 1999 Constitution and the Federal Character Principle.

The plaintiffs, led by Chief Edwin Clark, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, Dr. John Nnia Nwodo, Dr Pogu Bittus, Chief Ago Adebanjo, Alaowei Bozimo, Mrs Sarah Doketri, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife and

Air Commodore Idongsit Nkanga, alleged that the Southern and Middle Belt regions have been deliberately marginalized by the President Buhari-led government.

They are praying the court to among other things, determine whether it was not “reckless and adverse to the interest of Nigeria”, for President Buhari to obtain a loan facility from the Islamic Development Bank, African Development Bank, the World Bank, China, Japan and Germany amounting to $22.7 billion (USD), for infrastructural development, only to allocate the bulk of the fund to the Northern region.

They are seeking a declaration that the loan facility purportedly for infrastructural development wherein less than 1% of the amount is to be allocated to the South East Zone of Nigeria for specific infrastructural development, violates section 16 (1) (a) (b) and S16 (2) (a) (b) (c) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

As well as, “A declaration that the 1st Defendant’s procurement of any loan which would increase Nigeria’s outstanding debt by up to 30% of its GDP or which would increase its interest payment above 50% of government revenue is unconstitutional”.

Other plaintiffs in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/595/2020, are Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, Prof Julie Umukoro, Elder Stephen Bangoji, Alhaji Tijani Babatunde, Mrs Rose Obuoforibo, Mr Adakole Ijogi and Dr. Charles Nwakeaku.

Aside from President Buhari, also listed as 2nd to 4th Defendants in the matter are the Attorney-General of the Federation, Clerk of National Assembly and the Federal Character Commission.

When the matter came up on Wednesday, Justice Okon Abang, gave the NASS which has been included as the 5th Defendant the leave to file its response.

The court also directed the AGF to regularize his own process which it noted was filed out of time, even as the case was adjourned till January 13, 2021, for hearing.

Specifically, the Plaintiffs, in the suit they filed through a consortium of lawyers comprising of 10 Senior Advocates of Nigeria led by Chief Solomon Asemota, SAN, and Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, are further praying the court to determine:

“Whether the power to appoint designated public officers including permanent secretaries, principal representatives of Nigeria abroad, which is vested in the 1st Defendant has been lawfully exercised by him since the inception of his administration from 2015 till date and Whether his actions are in breach of Sections 171(5), 814(3) (4) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

“Whether the power to appoint Nigeria’s Armed Services Chiefs, other Commanders or top officials of the respective Armed Forces Higher and High Commands’ General Staff ; namely the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS), Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) and Chief of Airforce Staff (CA8); the other statutorily established Nigerian National Security agencies or services , namely: The Inspector General of the Nigerian Police (1GP), the Directors General (DGs) of the State Security Service (SSS), National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA); the Heads of National Security Associated Federal Government (FG) establishments, namely the Nigerian Civil Defense and Security Corps (NCDSC), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigerian Customs and Excise Service, the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS), the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS), the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA), the National Youth Service corps (NYSC), the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Ministers of Defense, Interior, Police and the respective National Security ministries’ Permanent Secretaries’ which is vested in the 1st Defendant, has been lawfully exercised by the 1st Defendant since the inception of his administration and whether these appointments are in compliance with 81(2), 814(3)(4), 8217(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

“Whether by virtue of Section 5 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which vests the Executive arm of government with a constitutional responsibility and obligation to execute and uphold the tenets of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), particularly the country’s national interest, sovereignty and security is not violated by the lopsided nature of the current appointments into Federal agencies are parastatals made by the 1st Defendant.

“Whether the 1st Defendant’s frequent arbitrary extension/elongation of appointment tenure beyond statutory prescription is not unconstitutional and inimical to the wellbeing, morale and harmony within the government workforce?

“Whether the 1st Defendant’s frequent appointment of retired persons instead of the most senior staff, is unconstitutional and tantamount to an abuse of office and threat to national unity?

Upon determination of the questions, the plaintiffs prayed the court to declare, “That the present composition of the government of the federation, and most of its agencies especially as regards the composition of its security and quasi-security architecture do not reflect the Federal Character of Nigeria but rather there is a predominance of persons from a few States and sectional groups dominating the opportunities and threatening national unity and integration.

“A declaration that the various appointments into positions in government, especially into strategic government agencies such as NNPC, NIA and other strategic infrastructural and regulatory institutions are ethnically discriminatory and lopsided and these violate the express provisions of the constitution as contained in Sections 14, 171 (1), 171 (5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended)and therefore unconstitutional, illegal and ultra vires.

“A declaration that the country’s security architecture is in substantial, noncompliance, nonconformity and violation of Sections 217 (3), 218(2), 219 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and is therefore unconstitutional and ultra vires.


“A declaration that the 1st Defendant’s exercise of his power to make appointments as contained in S171 is not only governed by S171 (5) but also by the Public Service Rules, 2008. Consequently, the 1st Defendant’s indiscriminate and unlawful elongation of tenure of persons due for retirement and wanton extension of the tenure of heads of various government departments and agencies is also a violation of S14 (2), S15 (5) of the Constitution which prohibits abuse of power and promotes social justice.

“A declaration that the Defendants deliberate misinterpretation, misapplication and/ or non-application of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and other extant laws herein enumerated have marginalized, discriminated against, and treated citizens that the Plaintiffs represent as second class and inferior citizens in their own country.


“A declaration that Section 10 CFRN prohibits the government from passing laws, legislation or engaging in activities, programmes, and projects seen as establishing an official religion or preferring one religion over another in Nigeria.

“A declaration that the Defendants derive their powers from the Nigerian Constitution, and must act within the ambit of the supreme provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Consequently, actions taken by the respective organs of government in violation of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) are unconstitutional, ultra vires and null and void.


“A declaration that because the 1999 Constitution (as amended)is not suspended; it must be obeyed and adhered to.

“A declaration that Nigeria is a federal system of government, with federating states, and a Federal Capital Territory in accordance with Section 2(2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Therefore, any system of governance operated contrary or inconsistent with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) shall be deemed unconstitutional or illegal.

“An order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendants, whether by themselves, servants, agents and/or privies, howsoever, from further appointing persons from only favoured sections of the country as Heads of key government positions and security and quasi security agencies of Nigeria to the detriment and exclusion of other sections of the country.


“An order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendants, whether by themselves, servants, agents and their privies howsoever, from further violating the Public Service Rules 2008 and Armed Forces Act 2004 by extending tenures of personnel who have reached retirement age in accordance with the law.

“An order directing the 1st Defendant to forthwith revert the lopsided appointments complained about in the security and quasi security agencies and immediately take steps to appoint persons from other states and geopolitical zones, in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.

“An order directing the 1st Defendant to forthwith reverse the lopsided appointments made in the public service, diplomatic service and other principal Representatives of Nigeria abroad.

“An order suspending any further admission of Africans into Nigeria without e-visas, the requisite visas or e-migrant visas, until the adequate border control guidelines, training and bilateral reciprocity and waivers are agreed upon”.

Besides, the court was urged to award N50billion against the Defendants to represent punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages to the constituents of the Plaintiffs for the illegal, wrongful discriminatory and unconstitutional acts committed by the 1st Defendant against the people of the Plaintiffs’ states and geopolitical zones.

WHO IS INTOLERABLE?*

One Christmas, I killed a goat and gave you the meat. You refused to eat it because the goat was killed by a Christian. At another Christmas, to show my love for you and my deep desire for you to partake on what we eat during Christmas season, I called a Muslim to kill a goat - at this instance you ate the meat - yet I am told I am intolerable as Southern Kaduna (SK)?

To prove my sincerity and depth of love for our friendship, I have even named my son after you, but you will never name your son after me - yet I am told that the SK man is intolerable.

I am denied contracts in my state. When I complain, you tell me I am lazy and depend too much on government handouts, though your entire life is dependent on government and its patronage, yet you tell me I am intolerable?

I am denied admission or given second choice (if lucky), and yet I am being told the SK man is intolerant.

I am denied employment or promotion. If I am employed, my appointment is terminated without the terminal benefits paid as at when due. The Southern Kaduna man is intolerable?

My father has lived in Zaria all his life but his children are denied indigeneship certificate of any local government in Zaria and yet I am told SK man is intolerable.

You are killing me and at the same time accusing my elites of organising the killings. You accuse those who empathise with me of crying more than the bereaved. How tolerable could I be?

Our daughters are sometimes kidnapped, converted to Islam and married off without my permission and yet I am being told I am intolerable.

I cannot marry your daughter because I am a Christian. If I must marry your daughter, I must first convert to Islam, and yet I am told I am intolerable.

You taxed (Jangali taxes) me for years with no regards to my ability to pay and when I could not pay, you took my farm produce or any of my domestic animals. You even fed your domestic animals with my food stuffs. Yet I am told I am intolerable.

You came to Southern Kaduna and have no respect for my culture. I cannot lay claim to any any other part of Nigeria where I reside or live. You are now claiming ownership of the land of my nativity and you are telling the whole world that I am a settler and not indigenous to Southern Kaduna. Yet I am being told I am intolerable.

You stay in your own enclaves in Southern Kaduna and tell me I have to change and be like you, and yet I am told I do not like visitors and I am also intolerable.

The Igbos and Yoruba have made Southern Kaduna home with no issues and yet I am told I am intolerable.

All I have can only be found in Southern Kaduna and if I go to where you come from, I am not even allowed to stay with you. I have to go to Sabon Gari, or Tudun Wada my designated areas but back in Southern Kaduna I am told I am intolerable.

You demand ‘citizenship’ of Southern Kaduna and yet you have no allegiance to land and yet I am told I am intolerable.

When it comes to selection into positions or posts from Southern Kaduna you will favour any one with names like yours. Yet I am told I am intolerable.

Local government delineation has been done in such a way that a Southern Kaduna man or Christian will never win Kaduna South Local Government chairmanship election. Still I am being told I am intolerable.

Senatorial seats delineation has been done in such a way that somebody from Southern Kaduna can’t never win a seat in Zone 1 or 2. Yet I am told that a Southern Kaduna man is intolerable.

You took Lere (Saminaka)which is in Southern kaduna to Senatorial Zone 1 and many political gerrymandering and turned round to say our population is only 30 and yet you say the Southern Kaduna man is intolerable.

Political appointees are all from one section and yet you tell me a Southern Kaduna man is lazy and intolerable.

State and federal resources are focused on only one section of the State and yet you tell me I am intolerable.

Southern Kaduna cannot even get Kaduna State TV signals - we depend on Plateau TV and yet I am being told I am intolerable.

If Southern Kaduna is zoned with FRCN Kaduna which is appropriate, then they must broadcast in one of the major Southern Kaduna languages, such as Jju, Adara, Ham, etc . To get round that, you zoned Southern Kaduna with FRCN Enugu. Can you beat that? As such FRCN Kaduna continues to broadcast in only Hausa, Fufulde and English ignoring the other major anguages in Kaduna State. Yet I am told Southern Kaduna is intolerable.

Someone actually said Southern Kaduna and Northern Kaduna shouldn’t be in one country how much of one State. Culturally we are different and yet Southern kaduna people are being told they are intolerable.

The Southern Kaduna man cannot be VC of ABU a supposed Federal institution it appears, yet I am being told Southern Kaduna are intolerable.

In the early 1970s, Southern Kaduna people opened up Rigasa, a suburb of Kaduna Metropolis, but down the road Southern Kaduna people have been killed and their properties destroyed - those who survived had to relocate to other parts of Kaduna town - I am not sure if there is any Christian or church(es) in Rigasa as at 2020. Yet the Southern Kaduna man is being told he is intolerable.

You abandoned the long existing Kaduna railway main junction and took the terminal railway station to Rigasa with the creation of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line. The old Kaduna railway station is now a dry Port. Yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

In the process of imposing Sharia in Kaduna, Miss World contest, Danish cartoon, 2011 election, and many more incidents, the Southern Kaduna man is killed and yet is said to be intolerable.

When Katsina state was excised from Kaduna state, Katsina still keeps an eye on Kaduna. You are still controlling the present Kaduna State, and yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

You have two federal ministerial appointments and everybody in top government position is from Northern Kaduna or Katsina and yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

I am not allowed to do my business of selling alcohol in some Northern parts and yet you benefit from the VAT where alcohol is sold. Southern kaduna is intolerable?

You changed the names of my languages. For example, Bajju became Kaje, Atyab became Kataf, Ham became Jaba, etc. You even renamed our towns and villages. Our languages are disdained and yet I am told I am intolerable?

State resources are used to promote one religion by funding Arabic Teachers Colleges, with no similar gesture to the Christians, yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

You came to Southern Kaduna and we welcomed you. You see every Muslim even from the moon as your brother, but you give me a derogatory name, 'arne' or a non-believer even though Christians are acknowledged in your religion as people of the book.

There is so much greed and wickedness. eg cornered almost all federal institutions in Northern Kaduna and still Southern kaduna man is intolerable.

Cornered federal allocated positions to the state and if you cannot fill it you allocate it to katsina than consider a Southern Kaduna man and yet you say Southern Kaduna man is intolerable.

If Southern Kaduna ask for their fair share, you say they are only 30% of the population of the state - this is a lie - you have manipulated the constituencies to your advantage that one can only call this rigging at source. Yet, Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

Southern Kaduna built Christian schools which you attended, which you later took over ownership without compensation. When the Southern Kaduna man complains, you say he is intolerable?

You are quick to send condolence messages to other countries who lose the lives of their citizens, but either keep mute or explain away the killings in Southern Kaduna, yet Southern Kaduna is accused of being intolerable.

We are being killed in Southern Kaduna and you keep telling the world that the killing is being organised by Southern Kaduna elites? If you know this, why haven't you arrested them? Yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

We are talking about centuries of subjugations and discriminations and physical eliminations of the citizens of Southern Kaduna. Here come some paid megaphone critics now saying we have no reasons to cry? What a sad and a diabolical tale.

This is from a many Decades Southern Kaduna man experience. I will tell you my name but it is not like yours for I wanted you to read this because you would probably not read it if you see that my name is not anything near yours.

Note: Dear reader, the above and many others are the experiences of Southern Kaduna for the past many Decades. Decide whether or not Southern Kaduna people are intolerable.

As such FRCN Kaduna continues to broadcast in only Hausa, Fufulde and English ignoring the other major anguages in Kaduna State. Yet I am told Southern Kaduna is intolerable.

Someone actually said Southern Kaduna and Northern Kaduna shouldn’t be in one country how much of one State. Culturally we are different and yet Southern kaduna people are being told they are intolerable.

The Southern Kaduna man cannot be VC of ABU a supposed Federal institution it appears, yet I am being told Southern Kaduna are intolerable.

In the early 1970s, Southern Kaduna people opened up Rigasa, a suburb of Kaduna Metropolis, but down the road Southern Kaduna people have been killed and their properties destroyed - those who survived had to relocate to other parts of Kaduna town - I am not sure if there is any Christian or church(es) in Rigasa as at 2020. Yet the Southern Kaduna man is being told he is intolerable.

You abandoned the long existing Kaduna railway main junction and took the terminal railway station to Rigasa with the creation of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line. The old Kaduna railway station is now a dry Port. Yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

In the process of imposing Sharia in Kaduna, Miss World contest, Danish cartoon, 2011 election, and many more incidents, the Southern Kaduna man is killed and yet is said to be intolerable.

When Katsina state was excised from Kaduna state, Katsina still keeps an eye on Kaduna. You are still controlling the present Kaduna State, and yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

You have two federal ministerial appointments and everybody in top government position is from Northern Kaduna or Katsina and yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

I am not allowed to do my business of selling alcohol in some Northern parts and yet you benefit from the VAT where alcohol is sold. Southern kaduna is intolerable?

You changed the names of my languages. For example, Bajju became Kaje, Atyab became Kataf, Ham became Jaba, etc. You even renamed our towns and villages. Our languages are disdained and yet I am told I am intolerable?

State resources are used to promote one religion by funding Arabic Teachers Colleges, with no similar gesture to the Christians, yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

You came to Southern Kaduna and we welcomed you. You see every Muslim even from the moon as your brother, but you give me a derogatory name, 'arne' or a non-believer even though Christians are acknowledged in your religion as people of the book.

There is so much greed and wickedness. eg cornered almost all federal institutions in Northern Kaduna and still Southern kaduna man is intolerable.

Cornered federal allocated positions to the state and if you cannot fill it you allocate it to katsina than consider a Southern Kaduna man and yet you say Southern Kaduna man is intolerable.

If Southern Kaduna ask for their fair share, you say they are only 30% of the population of the state - this is a lie - you have manipulated the constituencies to your advantage that one can only call this rigging at source. Yet, Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

Southern Kaduna built Christian schools which you attended, which you later took over ownership without compensation. When the Southern Kaduna man complains, you say he is intolerable?

You are quick to send condolence messages to other countries who lose the lives of their citizens, but either keep mute or explain away the killings in Southern Kaduna, yet Southern Kaduna is accused of being intolerable.

We are being killed in Southern Kaduna and you keep telling the world that the killing is being organised by Southern Kaduna elites? If you know this, why haven't you arrested them? Yet Southern Kaduna is intolerable?

We are talking about centuries of subjugations and discriminations and physical eliminations of the citizens of Southern Kaduna. Here come some paid megaphone critics now saying we have no reasons to cry? What a sad and a diabolical tale.

This is from a many Decades Southern Kaduna man experience. I will tell you my name but it is not like yours for I wanted you to read this because you would probably not read it if you see that my name is not anything near yours.

Note: Dear reader, the above and many others are the experiences of Southern Kaduna for the past many Decades. Decide whether or not Southern Kaduna people are intolerable.

WHO IS INTOLERABLE?*

One Christmas, I killed a goat and gave you the meat. You refused to eat it because the goat was killed by a Christian. At another Christmas, to show my love for you and my deep desire for you to partake on what we eat during Christmas season, I called a Muslim to kill a goat - at this instance you ate the meat - yet I am told I am intolerable as Southern Kaduna (SK)?

To prove my sincerity and depth of love for our friendship, I have even named my son after you, but you will never name your son after me - yet I am told that the SK man is intolerable.

I am denied contracts in my state. When I complain, you tell me I am lazy and depend too much on government handouts, though your entire life is dependent on government and its patronage, yet you tell me I am intolerable?

I am denied admission or given second choice (if lucky), and yet I am being told the SK man is intolerant.

I am denied employment or promotion. If I am employed, my appointment is terminated without the terminal benefits paid as at when due. The Southern Kaduna man is intolerable?

My father has lived in Zaria all his life but his children are denied indigeneship certificate of any local government in Zaria and yet I am told SK man is intolerable.

You are killing me and at the same time accusing my elites of organising the killings. You accuse those who empathise with me of crying more than the bereaved. How tolerable could I be?

Our daughters are sometimes kidnapped, converted to Islam and married off without my permission and yet I am being told I am intolerable.

I cannot marry your daughter because I am a Christian. If I must marry your daughter, I must first convert to Islam, and yet I am told I am intolerable.

You taxed (Jangali taxes) me for years with no regards to my ability to pay and when I could not pay, you took my farm produce or any of my domestic animals. You even fed your domestic animals with my food stuffs. Yet I am told I am intolerable.

You came to Southern Kaduna and have no respect for my culture. I cannot lay claim to any any other part of Nigeria where I reside or live. You are now claiming ownership of the land of my nativity and you are telling the whole world that I am a settler and not indigenous to Southern Kaduna. Yet I am being told I am intolerable.

You stay in your own enclaves in Southern Kaduna and tell me I have to change and be like you, and yet I am told I do not like visitors and I am also intolerable.

The Igbos and Yoruba have made Southern Kaduna home with no issues and yet I am told I am intolerable.

All I have can only be found in Southern Kaduna and if I go to where you come from, I am not even allowed to stay with you. I have to go to Sabon Gari, or Tudun Wada my designated areas but back in Southern Kaduna I am told I am intolerable.

You demand ‘citizenship’ of Southern Kaduna and yet you have no allegiance to land and yet I am told I am intolerable.

When it comes to selection into positions or posts from Southern Kaduna you will favour any one with names like yours. Yet I am told I am intolerable.

Local government delineation has been done in such a way that a Southern Kaduna man or Christian will never win Kaduna South Local Government chairmanship election. Still I am being told I am intolerable.

Senatorial seats delineation has been done in such a way that somebody from Southern Kaduna can’t never win a seat in Zone 1 or 2. Yet I am told that a Southern Kaduna man is intolerable.

You took Lere (Saminaka)which is in Southern kaduna to Senatorial Zone 1 and many political gerrymandering and turned round to say our population is only 30 and yet you say the Southern Kaduna man is intolerable.

Political appointees are all from one section and yet you tell me a Southern Kaduna man is lazy and intolerable.

State and federal resources are focused on only one section of the State and yet you tell me I am intolerable.

Southern Kaduna cannot even get Kaduna State TV signals - we depend on Plateau TV and yet I am being told I am intolerable.
