Falana: Emasculation of Opposition, Constriction of Democratic Space Signs of Buhari's Alleged Third Term Bid - THISDAYLIVE

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana , has said that despite the official denial by the Presidency that President Muhammadu Buhari will not seek a third term in office, the emasculation of the opposition, constriction of the democratic space, subversion of the rule of law through disobedience of court orders, among others are signs of the alleged third term agenda.

The human rights lawyer said that following the popular rejection of the campaign, the presidency issued a statement on October 2, 2019 to “correct internet-based gossip and un-informed media commentary regarding presidential term limits, given credence by so-called support groups, staging street demonstrations asking President Muhammadu Buhari to do a third term.”

Falana pointed out that peaceful meetings and rallies against unpopular policies of the government were violently suppressed, while rented crowd attack groups and citizens who challenge ‘authoritarian rule’ in the land. “We fought the plan of the late General Sani Abacha to metamorphose from a military dictator to a civilian President through the manipulation of a discredited political transition programme. Some of us were detained for 10 months without trial. In 2006, I was also involved in the campaign against the third term agenda of President Olusegun Obasanjo. Like now, I was accused of spreading false rumours!,” he added.
