As the leader of indigenous
people of Biafra (IPOB) appear in court today, the world is watching Hon
justice Tsoho to know if he will defend the right of individual as enshrined in the
United Nation (U.N) charter of 2007. It is of interest to know that the world
come together and decided to uphold the right of indigenous people. Nigeria is
a signatory to this Law that gives people or group the right to protest and
agitate for freedom.
However,
in United State constitution there are two overall ideas shape
the Constitution. First, America is a democratic State
. In a democracy, the people
have the ultimate power over government because they elect the leaders. Second,
no government official is above the law. But in Nigeria, the reverse is the
case, President Buhari has become a law himself. He decides who goes to jail
and who will work freely in the street despite the order of the court. Nigeria
has become a lawless state. Today, Nnamdi kanu the leader of IPOB will appear before Hon John Tsoho for bail application.
The president has given his order to Hon Justice John Tsoho not to release
Nnamdi Kanu and paid One Hundred Million Naira (N100,000000). The question is will he obey this order that is against the right of
individual? Against human right and
indeed the judiciary which is only hope for defenseless people. The judiciary in
Nigeria will be put to test today after several orders to release Nnamdi Kanu
unconditionally from the same court.
Hon
John Tsoho is on the stage once again to show whether the human right will be
upheld in Nigeria. In fact in United state there is what we called the Bill of
Rights that allows American citizens enjoy many basic rights (freedoms
and privileges). In the United States, you have the right to worship as you
choose. You have the right to speak freely and to read the books you want to
read. If you disagree with government policies, you have the right to protest
against them. Nigeria is a Democratic
country but, people are being killed when they protest and jailed when they speak
against the government. Nnamdi Kanu only used his mouth to talk about the
inhuman treatment of his people and demand for their freedom Therefore, he
should be released unconditionally today. Please share and follow!
