NIGERIA IS NOW IN A STATE OF ANARCHY UNDER THE WATCH OF TYRANT MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Almost two years gone since President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Evidently, He came to power following the decisive victory of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC over the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP and its candidate, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
In this few years of Buhari’s reign of terror, Nigerians have experience all kinds of inhumane treatments and defiance to justice and rule of law. It is on record that Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari who hails from Daura, Katsina State and who was also Nigeria former Head of State during the military junta in Nigeria, committed various atrocities, perverted justice, committed high degree of human right violation and brought unprecedented hardship to the poor masses. Before Buhari overthrew the Civilian government of Shehu Shagari, naira was exchanged favourably with major currencies such as the United States Dollar and the British Pound. This ensured that average Nigerians received their pay in a currency that was strong and could thus buy them the necessities of life. For example, the salary paid to Nigerian Judges was the same as those paid to their counterparts in England. This also applied to University Professors and Doctors. With this state of affairs, there was little or no need for such professionals to leave Nigeria in search of the proverbial greener pastures.
However following the devaluation of the Naira by Buhari’s misguided policy, several key sectors were affected by a massive exodus of qualified personnel. Doctors started to seek employment in Europe, the Middle East and other parts of Africa whilst University Professors started to explore opportunities open to them in foreign Universities. However judicial officers were compelled to receive bribe from the highest bidder before delivering judgment and court verdicts. It was Buhari’s tyrannical nature that prompted the arrest and imprisonment of many innocent people including ex-musician Fela N. Kuti . There is no clear distinction between Buhari of military Juntas and Buhari of Democratic antecedents. Muhammadu Buhari in his entire life has never obeyed court order and verdicts, neither does he have any atom of respect for the Judiciary, he treated the court with impunity. That was why he vowed during his first presidential media chat that he would never allow the court to set Nnamdi Kanu free and swore to interfere against all odds, after he publicly made this unguided utterance, he had since influenced the judiciary on the case.
It is very disheartening and shocking that In 2001, former President Obasanjo’s government inaugurated a panel headed by late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa to look into human rights abuses spanning some period in the Nigerian history. However, Buhari was invited to appear before the panel by well meaningful Citizens who called on him to come forward and explain his alleged roles in the massacre of 29th July 1966 coup that consumed the lives of over 300 Igbo army officers, including the then Head of State, Gen. Johnson Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi and his involvement in the 1967-1970 Nigerian-Biafran war which exterminated and unleashed a deadly pogrom on Biafrans hence resulted to the death of approximately 3.5million people including women and children. Buhari instead of honoring the invitation went and bribe the court which gave him an injunction restraining the panel from compelling him to appear before it.
Buhari has manipulated most of the judicial officers, some Judges who refused to be manipulated or to succumb to his threat will be defamed of his or her character. That was why Buhari accused Justice Adeniyi Ademole of corruption and money laundering because of his just, transparent and truthful disposition of justice on Nnamdi Kanu's case. Under the watch of tyrannical General Buhari the Idi Amin and Adolf Hitler Hitler of Nigeria, Nigerian democracy has lost its value.. Nigeria is now in the state of anarchy and only Biafra restoration will save the impending doom about to befall the country.
