President Muhammadu Buhari has been attacked over his comment on Nnamdi Kanu, the Radio Biafra director, during the presidential media chat.
This, according to Vanguard, was made by Foundation for Human Rights and Anti- Corruption Crusade (FHRACC) based in Delta state.
The group, in its reaction to the media chat, stated that President Buhari has no power to decide if the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Nnamdi Kanu at the entrance of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on December 23, 2015.
“As far as our judicial system is concerned, bail is at the discretion of the court no matter the gravity of the offense, if Buhari is not satisfied with the courts decisions, let him order the prosecuting agencies to file an appeal against the verdicts.
“It is not in his position to decide who to be granted bail and who not to be granted bail, which is the exclusive function of the judiciary. He should be guided with the principles of separation of power enshrined in the Constitution, 1999 (as amended).
“His postures clearly showed that he has no respect for the constitution. His answer to the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB’s protests in the South East is provocative, scornful and it smacks of total disregard to the provisions of the constitution which seeks to balance the federal appointments among the six geopolitical zones.
“Mr. President cannot expect the Igbo to feel being part of his government when he denied them sensitive positions in his government in gross violation of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) particularly under section 14 of the Constitution.
“President Buhari’s first media chat is disappointing. It brings to mind misery and subjugation of popular will particularly his resolved to be a judge in the anti corruption war.
“Those accused of corruption, particularly some select people, have already been convicted by Mr President. He is now exercising the functions of the judiciary by passing an executive judgment on some alleged corrupt individuals standing trial.
“There is no law in Nigeria that denies former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki and anybody standing corruption trial bail. His media chat in all, gives no hope in sight to the growing economic challenges the country is facing as he failed to answer so many critical questions.
