“Buhari Is A National Embarrassment,” Onaiyekan

Muhammadu Buhari

Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan has criticized

President Muhammadu Buhari over disregarding court orders,
demanding the release of the leader of Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.
He said: “There is no sign that Nigeria has the president. The
problem President Buhari has is that many Nigerians want to
continue as they were doing before and they want everybody else
to change, but not themselves.”
“Democracy is all about the rule of law. Three times he has
disobeyed court orders in less than a year in office.
“Disobedience to court orders by those who should protect and
ensure its compliance slides the Nation to anarchy.
“It is wrong to undermine the Constitution of Nigeria which is the
bases of the Nigerian nation and expects people not to resist
such via protesting. For those supporting president can you
please justify why he has refused to obey court orders?
The prominent cleric added: “My dear President Buhari, it will be
in the best interest of the nation that you obey court orders and
apologize to the nation for the embarrassments you have caused
us which have led to peaceful demonstrations in virtually major
parts of Southern Nigeria.
“You should in the best interest of the nation set up a truth and
reconciliation committee and compensate families of those killed.
You should have obeyed as ordered by the court; ask your DSS to
obey court orders, release Nnamdi Kanu and tender an
unreserved apology to him for the embarrassments you have
caused him, his wife, family, and millions of his followers by
detaining him and infringing on his rights without good reason.”
Kanu was arrested in Lagos in October on conspiracy and
terrorism charges, which were later dropped
