THE seeming insensitivity being
shown by the President Muhammadu Buhari over the unconstitutional appointment
of Amina Zakari is too early an indication of impunity, for a popularly elected
government that promised to stop impunity in the conduct of the affairs of
state.
Some of us who helped to shape
public opinion in his favour, out of shame in the last weeks, have hidden under
the excuses that afterall he has no Attorney General to advise him, no Chief of
Staff or Secretary to Government. But more disturbing and worrisome is the fact
that it appears the Vice President, who is a professor of law and a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria, in the absence of an AGF, was not consulted or carried
along on a matter bothering on constitutionalism.
