The recent trend of unconstitutional takeover of power, sometimes in reaction to unilateral changes of constitutions by some leaders, must not be tolerated by the international community, President Muhammadu Buhari told world leaders Friday in New York. In his speech at the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly, the President warned that democratic gains of the past decades in West Africa ‘‘are now being eroded’’ due to these negative trends. He affirmed Nigeria’s support to efforts by ECOWAS, AU and the UN to address this growing challenge, saying: ‘‘As leaders of our individual Member-States we need to adhere to the constitutional provisions of our countries, particularly on term limits. This is one area that generates crisis and political tension in our sub-region.’’ The President urged the international community not only to deal with the symptoms of conflict but also the immediate causes that fuel conflicts in the first place. ‘‘These include poor and undemocratic governance, hu...

The Federal Government may file a fresh action against Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (also known as Sunday Igboho), following the judgment of Oyo State High Court which awarded N20 billion in damages in his favour. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, told NAN in New York that the Federal Government may file fresh charges against the agitator. Malami said the position of the Federal Government on the judgment was about “law and jurisdiction”. “As far as this matter is concerned, which court is it that has the jurisdiction to determine it? And as you rightly know, obedient to court orders and court judgments,” he said. “But then you have to understand within the context of such obedience that there are associated rights and interests that are vested in the Federal Government. “Inclusive of rights of appealing against a judgment, inclusive of right to file an application for settingaside the purported judgment and order. “And indeed, i...

BUHARI, FFK, AND THE QUALITY OF MERCY Not a small ruckus has been caused by the defection of former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last week. An icing on the cake, or the salt added to injury (depending on which side you are), was his reception at the Presidential Villa by Muhammadu Buhari, father of the nation. The development has been rocking the polity for many days. FFK is by no means a miscellaneous personality, and whatever he does, or does not do, attracts loads of attention. He was a founding member of the APC, before he ported back to the PDP. And he did not leave quietly. He ruffled feathers and stirred up the mud.

He has said things straight from the gutters, things that the natural man would call...
