Activists speak on whether the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, should resign or not owing to his ongoing court trials.
Ayo Opadokun
In any decent society, he ought not to
return to the office of the Senate President. He is facing a criminal
charge. Conviction has very little significance; the fact is that he has
to be in the dock to face criminal prosecution. It is humiliating that
the leader of the Senate had to be docked for a criminal trial. It is a
national embarrassment that he is attempting to politicise a purely
criminal offence.
Abuja – Following
recent disclosure by some senior officers of the Nigerian Army including
Generals (38 officers) by the Army Council for alleged complicity and
partisanship in the 2015 general elections while others were said to
have soiled their hands in arms and logistics procurement, the Chief of
Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai has dared those not satisfied with
the process to go to court.

Buratai challenged the officers just as he admitted that some of them
have petitioned the Army Council and other quarters over their alleged
unjust retirement, insisting that due process was followed to the
letter.
Speaking on the allegations regarding his family’s purchase of houses in
Dubai and that of the alleged purchase of refurbished weaponry and
logistics equipment which were presented as brand new, the Army Chief
described such allegations as the handiwork of cyber and internet
terrorists who had been defeated on land in the epicenter of Boko Haram
insurgency.
The COAS who spoke on the occasion of a media briefing to kick-start the
Nigerian Army Day Celebration 2016 scheduled 11th to 14th July,
explained further, “With regards to the retirements, I would not have
said anything because the minister has cleared the doubt. But I want to
inform you that due process was followed. It is a good idea that some of
them are going to court. Some of them have written and we will respond
to them accordingly. I have directed the legal department to prepare our
defence for those going to court. The Army Council in its wisdom has
taken the right decision and we have to abide by it”.
“For those making allegation about houses and weaponry procurement, the
media should read between the lines. We have completely defeated the
terrorists and insurgents (Boko Haram) on land and the remnants are
fleeing. They can’t hold territories but are running to border
countries.
“Now they have migrated to cyberspace and the internet. What they are
now doing is resorting to cyber and internet (online) terrorism to
distract the Nigerian Army. But I assure you, we will defeat them. We
are developing our own cyber warriors in the Nigerian Army to deal with
their threat. I assure you we will also defeat them”.
Regarding the refurbished weaponry and logistics equipment some of which
were said to be failing, Buratai said, “This is all part of the
campaign of calumny. I am always highly concerned about doing the right
thing. My officers know my position. We have carried out several
investigations and due diligence on issues of arms and logistics
procurement and their quality/capabilities. So there is no room for sub
standard weaponry as claimed”.
