“Extending IGP Adamu’s tenure contravenes police act” – Ozekhome
Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has expressed that President Muhammadu Buhari is wrong for extending the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu
He described the President’s action as, “unconstitutional, illegal, unlawful, questionable, arbitrary, whimsical, capricious.”
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, Ozekhome made a reference to how US President Joe Biden assembled his cabinet before the January 20th inauguration, adding that Buhari should have appointed a replacement for Adamu before the expiration of his tenure.
He said;
“The president was wrong to have purportedly extended the tenure of Mr Adamu.
“Did he not see what just happened in America that we modeled our democracy after? Before Biden was sworn in on the 20th of January, he had already assembled his entire cabinet.
“A fire-brigade approach and doing the things that are unconstitutional, illegal, unlawful, unconscionable, arbitrary, whimsical and capricious are the present acts of Mr President.”
Ozekhome argued that the Nigerian police force has its own rules and regulations different from the civil service, adding that the tenure extension of Adamu contravened the Nigeria police act of 2020.
that man is a useless man and won’t listen to anyone but his loyalist……
President buhari always the constitution of Nigeria whenever he wants to perform any obligatory function in the country.
I am not surprised for the extension of IGP, he always not follow the law guiding the particular organization before executing it.
In president buhari administration, there is no nothing proactive in his dealings, he is just carry out whatever he wants to do anyhow.
That is why we need those who is educated but selfish less that will be able to pilot the affairs of the country with fear of God and according to the law.
