Below is a statement made available to PoliticsNGR by the National President of the Ijaw Youth Council, Pereotubo Roland Oweilaemi;

“The
suspension of the Chief Justice of the Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter
Onnoghen is an abuse of office taken too far. President Buhari has
suspended the Constitution thereby applying fascist rule. He has no
power whatsoever under our democracy to unilaterally suspend CJN without
the impute of the National Assembly, especially the Senate.

The
Constitution under section 292 is very clear on the procedure to remove a
judge, especially CJN or CJ. This unconstitutional act of Mr. President
has demonstrated that the government is pursuing an illicit agenda
against the judiciary. This is a dictatorship in the highest order. It
means even the Nigerian Constitution has been suspended.

Nigerians
need to rise up in unionism to defend our democracy. Buhari’s onslaught
against democracy must be resisted by men of goodwill. No doubt that
Buhari has let loose full blown dictatorship where hard and fast rules
have been introduced in place of our Constitution.

As for us in
the Niger Delta, this is a direct assault on our collective aspirations
to live in a united Nigeria. We shall resist this discriminatory action
of the present government even with the last drop of our blood. Nigeria
belongs to all of us therefore, we will no longer allow ourselves to be
treated as second fiddle human beings.

Mr. President should
review his action in the best in interest of our corporate existence and
revise the illegal suspension of the CJN with immediate effect. If
Niger Delta man is not good enough to occupy top national office under
Buhari then we may not guarantee peace in the oil sector.

IYC is
calling on the international community to prevail on the Buhari-led
government to back down on some of his divisive, discriminatory and
unconstitutional actions before he sets the Country on fire. Nigeria is
moving to the cliff. The end of democracy is in sight if urgent action
is not taken to stop Buhari from destroying our hard earned democracy.
After all, he is benefiting from his wrong and so he didn’t value the
importance of democracy to Nigerians.
