A group- Good Governance For Nigeria (GGFN) – has critised President Bola Tinubu’s threat to the effect that anarchy will befall Nigeria if he is removed from office by any court.
The group, while describing the comment as one from a “panicky, falsely, fraudulent, and mafialy elected president”, urged the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to ignore Tinubu, and do justice to the petitions challenging his emergence as President.
Tinubu’s statement to the court, according to GGFN, is an egregious act of desperation.
The group’s National Secretary, Abdul Ilekhana, declared through a statement that the contrary will be the case as Nigerians will be ecstatic, jubilant, joyous, joyful, happy and thankful to God if Tinubu is removed from office.
“What manner of a leader will threaten the judiciary if he truly knows that it is the bastion of peace, justice and democracy, the last bus stop for the masses in search of justice?
“He knows he’s already a gonna. No wonder he went to ECOWAS to advocate the setting up of a regional anti-coup force.
“Huge signs of desperation are already exhibited in his policies. Why declare a state of emergency on the food crisis and not on insecurity?
“Can farming take place while bandits and Boko Haram still run riot in the country?
“Why remove fuel subsidy without palliatives? And talk of palliatives thereafter? A question of putting the cart before the horse.
Why allocate palliatives to the National Assembly and the Judiciary? Are they too affected by poverty and hunger?
“Just the same thing he did in Lagos and bribed the good, the bad and the ugly and also corrupted even the innocent, just so that he achieved his vaulted political ambition?
“You can see why he got rid of so many generals, by choosing service chiefs from a lower course group. The threat is highly prejudicial and condemnable,” the group emphasised.
