Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A legal practitioner, Kayode Ajulo has charged President Muhammadu Buhari to prove he is in charge of the Federal Government of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Ajulo said it was high time the President addressed the nation on the worrisome security challenges facing it.<\/p>\n

He made the call in a statement in reaction to the Southern Governors\u2019 ban on open grazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an insinuation that some cabals within the corridors of power are the ones ruling the country while the President is sitting at the rear, distant from the ruled.<\/p>\n

\u201cSection 5 of the 1999 Constitution has placed the executive powers of the Federation in the hands of the President and he must take the bull by its horn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ajulo noted that the issues addressed by the governors are not unusual as they represent the agitations of the citizens.<\/p>\n

He said everyone with a right-thinking mind should commend them for presenting a common front seeking a lasting amelioration to the spate of insecurity.<\/p>\n

Ajulo condemned the divide-and-rule tactics in government and among the political class.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the actions and utterances of some sections lent credence to the unfortunate tribalisation of issues in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an open secret that the herdsmen-farmers crisis in the Southern part is one of the underlying issues of insecurity in Nigeria. Placing a ban on open grazing will keep at bay the incessancy of the crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecondly, the level of interaction between individual ethnic groups, cultures, traditions, religions from different backgrounds has translated into ethnic and political misunderstanding and crises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are fears, suspicions, intolerance, grieves and greed domination among most communities in the country and especially in the North which has so many ethnic minorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ajulo demanded that the principle of \u2018Federal Character\u2019 recognised by the 1999 Constitution be respected to ensure the participation of persons from all ethnic groups in government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThirdly, on the issue of the need to reflect true federalism, there is at present widespread discontent with the country\u2019s federal structure and arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawyer said all the constitutional, political and judicial aspects of the federal system need to be openly discussed, including revenue allocations from the Federation Account.<\/p>\n

Ajulo further advocated the creation of state police. He said the 1999 Nigerian Constitution should be amended to give states the leverage to create their own police for better efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
