President Muhammadu Buhari has
been berated for occupying the office of the Minister of Petroleum.
A legal practitioner, Emmanuel
Anene, said the decision of the president was a breach of Nigeria’s
Constitution.
Featuring on Channels Television
on Friday, Anene said Buhari became Petroleum Minister by “fiat.”
“The administration brought in
the Whistle-Blowing policy, but has failed in putting it through the National
Assembly for approval”, he said.
“The government said they are
fighting corruption. Any offence involving dishonesty is corruption. Nepotism
is corruption; favouritism is corruption.
“If you ambush due process of
law, that is corruption. If you arm-twist the system for your own selfish gain
that is corruption.
“Mr President made himself the
Minister of Petroleum by fiat. He did not submit himself to the NASS for
clearance that is a breach of the constitutional provision.
“When they came on board, we
heard of the Dasukigate. Today, Dasuki is being prosecuted; he has taken his
bail to the Supreme Court…ordinary bail”, Anene lamented.
