#ENDSARS - IN BUHARI'S FAVOUR
The seat of the president isn’t as powerful in a federal democracy as we often think, except d occupier is brazenly tyrant. Buhari's sarcastic emphasis and throat clearing, when announcing d amount NASS appropriated to itself for 2021 buttresses this.
If there's no #EndSARS protest and the arrest of erring policemen are ordered, there would have been conspiracy theories saying it's a move targeted at "Christian" policemen, seeing that many of the policemen accused of being brutal are Christians of southern extraction.
If govt had gone after CSP James Nwafor who was accused of killing one Chijioke Iloanya, there'd have being questions asked about other killer policemen in the West or elsewhere who aren't Igbos. Now it seems #EndSARS is louder than the usual ethnic jingoism or religious bigotry.
I support Buhari and i gave money to #EndSARS .
People who support Buhari should see #EndSARS as an epoch making event, which Buhari should take credit for. The thought about organizing a counter 100million man March is counterproductive, vexatious and should be perished.
I can tell y'all for free that Its the governors who are afraid most with #EndSARS escalating. Isnt it amazing how d governors quickly met and agreed to setting up judicial inquiries in their respective states? If this was a recommendation from the president, they will not do it.
If the truth be told, the police IGP is a toothless bulldog. He's subservient to a Police Service Commission (PSC) and Police Affairs Minister. Musiliu Smith, a former IGP under whom policemen went on strike for the first time Nigeria's history is the current chairman of PSC. 😃
The current IGP became a Commissioner about 13yrs after his PSC Chair, Musiliu Smith retired as IGP. Besides the fact the IGP has no say in selecting DIGs, there are AIGs who are sufficiently backed by politicians to ignore directives from the IGP. Your governors are behind this.
It'll be impossible to reform d police without offending the constitution. Looking at our laws, many of d killer policemen will go free.
#EndSARS protesters are asking they should be prosecuted. With lawyers like Mike Ozekhome defending these killers, the case will take 600yrs!
