If there is any sign Nigerians need to know that the country has slipped into the abysss of totalitarian rule,it is the unfortunate statement by the Presidency on Sowore.
A truly democratic regime would have. condemned the barbaric. conduct of the DSS in court on Friday with a promise to investigate it.
But. this presidency ignored the sacrilege of descreation of the temple of justice and went after Sowore whom it describes as a ‘person of interest ”’ to the Gestapo.
Does it occur to them that what DSS did on Friday was a coup against the judiciary and worse than the unstaged revolution of Sowore?
The statement shows this admistration is far too gone in its way of riding roughshod over all that we hold dear as a nation. If Nigerians do not assert constitutionalism with all peaceful and democratic means ,this country may well be resting in pieces in the grip of dictatorship and arbitrarines s.
To see our Presidency patronising Boko Haram in the context of
Sowore galls and stinks to high heaven
