President Buhari has 'Misbehaved', Senator Melaye says

                                                                                                           

Controversial Nigerian Senator, representing Kogi West Senatorial district, Dino Melaye has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of violating the Rule of Law.Melaye, raising a point of order on Wednesday, noted that President Buhari appointed the director-general of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission, Adolphus Ekpe without the approval of the Senate.Melaye said the executive submitted names of chairman of National Electrical Regulatory Commission, Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission and others were forwarded to the Senate for confirmation while Ekpe was selected.“When President Muhammadu Buhari took over power at exactly 12:04 hours 29th May 2015, What the president and my party promised Nigerians is the respect for the rule of law and also to combat the monster called corruption," Melaye said.“I want to bring to your attention of the Senate chamber, quoting from the national lottery Act specifically section 8 (1) of that Act reads as follows 'there shall be a commission and a director-general whom shall be appointed by the President and subject to the confirmation of the senate'.“It is sad to note this morning that a new director-general of the national lottery commission has not only been appointed by the President, he has assumed office and have started signing documents carrying out the functions of the office of the director-general of the national lottery commission without referral or confirmation of the Nigerian senate.“This country is not a banana republic and the executive arm of government cannot choose the laws to obey and the one not to obey.“As I speak to you this morning we have chairman of national electrical regulatory Commission for confirmation, we have for confirmation the board of the NDDC and some others. Why will there be selective respect for the rule of law.“Mr President, at the end of the day the rule of law is to be respected. It is safer to be loyal to the people of the federal republic of Nigeria than to be afraid of the wrath of the EFCC or the executive. The truth is the truth and this chamber will stand on the truth and the rule of law must be respected and we must communicate this misbehavior and rascality with great concern," he added.

Home Politics Coup To End Buhari's Era Again: Top Nigerian Politicians Under Intense Security Watch Coup To End Buhari's Era Again: Top Nigerian Politicians Under Intense Security Watch

Following the rumored coup said to be fuelled by some politicians to end the President Muhammadu Buhari's Government for the second time, the relevant security agencies have placed some of the suspected politicians on surveillance.

Recall, Buhari was toppled by Gen Ibrahim Babangida in 1985 through military coup.

Chief of Army Staff Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai warned officers against politics to save the nation’s democracy, The Nation reports

The alarm is believed to have followed an intelligence report that some politicians, who were uncomfortable with the health of President Muhammadu Buhari, were infiltrating the military.

There were no details of such infiltration in the statement, which warned officers not to hobnob with politicians. 

The recent postings in the Army may have been part of the measures put in place to protect the nation’s democracy against shocks and threats, a source said.

Buratai also cautioned the unnamed politicians, who are said to have been placed under surveillance by security agencies, not to influence soldiers.

According to the source, who spoke in confidence, Gen. Buratai was disturbed that the ongoing professionalization of the military might suffer a major setback if politicians were allowed to “infiltrate the system”, The Nationa Newspaper reports

The source said: “What Buratai did was a pre-emptive move by the military authorities as a result of intelligence report that some politicians were out to infiltrate the Armed Forces.

“The COAS decided to cry out following intelligence on the attitude of some politicians who were uncomfortable with the anxiety over the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.”

Gen. Buratai’s warning to officers was to protect democracy, stress that the Armed Forces must subjugate themselves to civilian authority, pledge the military’s loyalty to the Presidency and caution politicians that officers cannot be used for political mischief, the source said. He pleaded not to be named because he is not permitted to talk to the media.

The army chief’s  suspicion of the  infiltration of the military is believed to have been fuelled by the crisis in Cote D’Ivoire.

Nigeria has condemned the mutiny in Cote D’Ivoire.

“But Gen. Buratai has used his statement to reassure Nigerians and the international community that the military will not meddle in politics. This alarm has paid off, with the United Kingdom and pro-democracy groups giving their backing to the present administration.

“And his alert has worked because all the reactions have shown that Nigerians will not accept the return of the military to power,” the source said. 
 

Responding to a question, the source added: “I think the relevant security agencies have placed some of the suspected politicians on surveillance.”

Another source said Gen. Buratai gave the warning to douse tension in the Army over recent postings.

“These rumours started from the last military posting. There were many strategic appointments which some people felt went to the close confidants of the Army leadership.

“There were allegations that some trusted officers were put in areas of influence because of the backlash of the health of the President.

“But we have found out that those grumbling had no case because Buratai as a soldier’s soldier does not have any favourite. He places professionalism above ethnic or religious consideration. His goal is to keep the military united.”
