ANALYSIS: Atiku, Kwankwaso, Obi, Tinubu make vague promises ... (Premium Times)

Without an efficient justice administration system, rule of law and human rights falter and democracy begins to crumble.

In September 2021, it condemned the “Nigerian security forces’ attempts to clamp down on Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) militants have led to arbitrary arrests, detentions, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions in the Southeast and Niger Delta area of Nigeria.” Good journalism costs a lot of money. Mr Obasanjo’s successors – the late Umaru Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari followed the ignoble path. In 2015, the Nigerian Army destroyed the couple’s home in Zaria, killing many of their followers, after they had an altercation with then Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai. Nigerian youth had gathered at Lekki tollgate in Lagos as part of a nationwide protest against police brutality. The Nigerian government only bowed to pressure to release Mr Dasuki in December 2019. Without an efficient justice administration system, rule of law and human rights falter and democracy begins to crumble. He paid scant regard to court decisions. On Mr Buhari’s watch, breach of these democratic ethos is a constant feature that has endured to its last days. The situation caused pandemonium. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP talks about “…upholding the principle that all are equal before the law, and integrating the rule of law with the rule of virtue.” Mr Kwankwaso like his co-contestants did not explicitly commit to promoting the rule of law and safeguarding human rights of every Nigerian. It was the latest in the series of plethora of human rights abuses and flagrant disregard for court orders that President Buhari’s regime has supervised in the last seven and a half years.

The 14 other candidates have not been visible in the campaigns and only on Friday, five of their parties announced their endorsement of Atiku of the PDP. By 2018, he had returned to the PDP and again ran unsuccessfully for the presidential ticket of the party. Kwankwaso described his NNPP as a viable alternative to the ruling APC and the PDP. The former Kano governor ran for the APC ticket in 2014, shortly after defecting with other PDP governors to the then-new party.
