The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Uche Secondus has called out President Muhammadu Buhari over his alleged hostility and ill treatment of the nation’s judiciary.
Secondus who accused the President of persecuting the judiciary advised him to focus on what he called ‘his stinking Executive’.
He alleged that the motive behind Buhari’s endless attacks on the Judiciary was strategically designed to force them to submit to his undemocratic desires.
The National Chairman stated this yesterday in a statement he released through his Twitter handle.
He wrote; “The President’s aversion on the judiciary is becoming very apparent, dangerous and antithetical to democratic norms. He has continued to bemoan his past with the judiciary by displaying his unconcealed anger and unforgiving desire to take a pound of flesh on them.”
“The motive behind the endless attacks on the Judiciary by President @MBuhari especially last Tuesday’s narration of his so called ordeal with the courts is strategically designed to cow them into submission to his undemocratic desires.”
“Even among @MBuhari’s audience where he was lampooning the Judiciary were persons whose questionable source of wealth is not unknown yet he pretends not to be aware because it favours his political interest.”
“We all know it as a fact that the motive of the President @MBuhari in his countless berating of the Judiciary at the slightest moment is deliberately designed to frighten them, take away their confidence and force them to submit to his wishes by intimidation.”
“The continuous ridiculing of the highly revered arm of government just because they did not dance to your selfish tune at some point is preposterous and highly unacceptable.”
“I want to urge all lovers of democracy in the country to rise up in defence of this critical arm of government which gets bashing from an executive arm that seeks absolute power from the back door.”
“The double standards apparent in the administration of President @MBuhari comes glaringly when he ceaselessly berates the Judiciary and turns blind eye to the monumental corruption going on in the executive arm.”
“I want to finally charge members of the Judiciary never to abdicate their responsibilities in the sustenance of democracy and refuse to be intimidated, but to insist on delivering justice in the land knowing that it is the only route to growth and development.”
