Fayose Right In Asking Buhari To Resign – Ozekhome SAN

Human rights activist and lawyer, Mr Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has
supported the call by Governor Ayo Fayose for President Muhammadu
Buhari’s resignation.

Mr Ozekhome said this on Wednesday when he appeared on Channels
Television’s Politics Today, hours after Governor Fayose asked the
President to resign on health grounds and in the interest of the
country.

According to the senior advocate, the situation in the country
has left it rudderless and like an aircraft flying without a
compass.

“Fayose is therefore right and right to call for Mr President’s
resignation because it is clear that under section 143 and 144 of
the Constitution, the Federal Executive Council, which is made up
of ministers appointed by the President himself cannot recommend
that Mr President be subjected to medical report by a panel set up
for that purpose,” he said.

“We cannot continue to be like a rudderless country, like an
aircraft flying without a compass, it is dangerous.”

Mr Ozekhome called for social justice and equity and also for
the creation of a new state in the South East in restructuring the
nation.

He also reiterated the need for the re-inclusion of history in
the curriculum for schools across the nation.
