Fasehun backs NASS resolution on Buhari
By Founder of Odua People’s Congress, (OPC) Frederick Fasehun has thrown his weight behind Monday’s joint resolution of the National Assembly to impeach president Muhammadu Buhari. He said it was an overdue and commendable step to protect the country’s democracy and check the nation’s slide into totalitarianism.
Fasheun, who is also the national chairman of the unity party of Nigeria, (UPN) describe the National Assembly’s resolve as a bold and patriotic step, which according to him, was necessary to check dictatorship and executive lawlessness, urging Nigerians to massively support the move.
In a statement yesterday in Lagos, The OPC leader, also faulted the defence minister Mansur Muhammad Dan Alli’s demand at a security meeting on Tuesday, urging states to scrap anti grazing laws, while also warning the Kaduna state Governor Mallam Nasir El- Rufail over his plans to convert Chiefdoms in the state to emirates.
“No one has said that the National Assembly is a gathering of infallible angels, but this executive and Buhari’s holier-than-thou posturing has no basis in reality. It is quite unfortunate that a President whose slogan was ‘War Against Indiscipline’ now runs a cabinet of uncontrollable, cocky and corrupt individuals, who have mustered the daredevilry to dishonour the Legislature, hold the Judiciary in contempt and harangue media and civil society.”
“Let us seize this opportunity to alert the nation on the opening warfront in Kaduna through the Governor’s belligerent, unconstitutional, ill-advised and crazy instruction that chiefdoms in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the state convert to emirates: “El-Rufai is in clear violation of the Constitution in Section 21(a). He should be called to order immediately; and instead of this evil descent into neo-colonialism and Caliphate expansionism, status quo should be maintained”.
The OPC leader, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of dividing the country with his leadership style, adding that the resolution by the national Assembly was necessary to safe guard the nation’s democracy.
