The National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has admonished President
Muhammadu Buhari to look inwards at his alleged stinking executive and stop the
hostility and ill-treatment of the nation’s Judiciary.
Secondus spoke against the
backdrop of Buhari’s alleged ”continued show of hostile behaviour on the
nation’s judiciary as exemplified in his unwarranted and unprovoked attacks on
the former Chief Justice of the Federation CJN, Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen
on Tuesday while hosting some Yoruba leaders at the Aso Villa.
The PDP National Chairman said
that the President’s aversion for the judiciary is becoming very apparent,
dangerous and antithetical to democratic norms.
He has continued to bemoan his
past with the judiciary by displaying his unconcealed anger and unforgiving
desire to take a pound of flesh on them.
The Ikwere-born politician
pointed out that the motive behind the endless attacks on the Judiciary by the
President especially last Tuesday’s narration of his so called ordeal with the
courts is strategically designed to cow them into submission to his
undemocratic desires.
Secondus said in a statement on Thursday from his media office and signed by Ike Abonyi.
He said that even among Buhari’s
audience where he was lampooning the Judiciary were persons whose questionable
source of wealth is not unknown yet he pretends not to be aware because it
favours his political interest.
“We all know it as a fact that
the motive of the President in his countless berating of the Judiciary at the
slightest moment is deliberately designed to frighten them, take away their
confidence and force them to submit to his wishes by intimidation.
Prince Secondus described as preposterous
and highly unacceptable the continuous ridiculing of the highly revered arm of
government just because they did not dance to your ”selfish tune” at some
point.
He then urged all lovers of
democracy in the country to rise up in defence of this critical arm of
government which gets bashing from an executive arm that seeks absolute power
from the back door.
The PDP boss notes that the
double standards apparent in the administration of President Buhari come
glaringly when he ceaselessly berated the Judiciary and turns blind eye to the
monumental corruption going on in the executive arm.
He finally charged members of the
Judiciary never to abdicate their responsibilities in the sustenance of
democracy and refuse to be intimidated, but to insist on delivering justice in
the land knowing that it is the only route to growth and development.
