 Activists and CSOs have urged President Bola Ahmed to alert the EFCC not to falsify or falsely portray Nigeria as a lawless society. At a press conference held in Abuja, a group of 60 civil society organizations represented by the coalition for democracy and justice voiced their stance on the matter of the immediate past governor of Kogi state. The expressed concern over what they see as a blatant disregard for a court order prohibiting his arrest, prosecution, or harassment, until a substantive fundamental rights enforcement action is heard and decided upon. The convener, Barristão Jó or Lou Coyote, said one of the most significant threats to democracy is when politicians manipulate the law for their own political agendas and personal vendetta, along with other hidden motives. He urged President Inoubo to counsel the EFCC to avoid putting itself in a position where it could be accused of betraying the independence of the courts. The CSOs urged the president to reject any efforts by politicians to sway him away from one of his most trusted partners. Those who are urging them to commit content of court through disregarding and outspending court order against the arrest of the former governor Yahya does avail. At the end of his speech, pending the termination of the case in court in that regard, as instituted by the lawyers of the former governor, the rule of law is like blood of democracy. Therefore, we urge the EFCC to always do the part of legality in carrying out its mandate. The commission must deliberately avoid the temptation of falling under the pressure of disgracing political elements, but by breaking the law in their actions to uphold the law. Thank you.
