The presidency has finally reacted to the crisis going on in Benue
State regarding the attempt to impeach the state governor, Samuel Ortom
and members of the hosue of assembly.
In a statement by Femi Adesina, 'President Buhari will never be
part of any unconstitutional act, and any attempt to link him with the
inglorious past, when minority number of lawmakers impeached governors,
will not stick. It will simply be like water off the duck's back. Those
with open minds know this, but those who cavil would rather source
everything untoward to the President. It is murky ground in which they
are now marooned, as fallout of their resistance to change in the
country'.
He went on to say, 'even while attending the ECOWAS/ECCAS Summit
in Togo, strident attempts were being made to drag President Muhammadu
Buhari into the unfolding drama between the executive and the
legislature in Benue State. Statements have been issued by different
interest groups, insinuating that the President may have a hand in the
development in Benue. This is paranoia at its worst, coming from people
who have wittingly positioned themselves against the clean-up of the
country, and the way we do things. They prefer business as usual'.
'When it suits them, they preach separation of powers and true
federalism, and in another breath, they call on the President to
interfere brazenly in affairs at state level. President Buhari will
always stand by all that is noble and fair, and will reject attempts to
drag him into infamy. People who stoke fires by deliberate acts of
omission or commission, and then summon the President to come and put it
out will find that this President will be guided by the Constitution at
all times, no matter the attempt to entangle him in unwarranted
controversies' he said. Credit: LindaIkejiBlog
