Dear, President Muhammadu Buhari
AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT, ON IMMUNITY...
Firstly, let me give accolades to your administration, for the looted funds that has been recovered so far and for your efforts to bring individuals who abused public offices to face the wrath of the law. Sir, Nigerians are aware of your strives to make Nigeria better, even amidst the economic recession and other challenges we are faced with. But, it is also pertinent for me to direct the camera lens of your administration to something your excellency might not take cognizance of, this is the immunity clause in our constitution. Mr. President, be reminded that the Nigerian constitution was handed over to us by the most corrupt military regime in Nigeria's history, and further received by a military man in a civilian attire.
Mr. President, until the immunity clause in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which shields our corrupt politicians against prosecution for criminal offences, is removed, your anti-corruption mantra will under-produce or be in total futility. I agree that granting immunity to people who perform certain functions of state is neither peculiar to Nigeria, nor to the African continent but the kind of immunity that Nigerian public office holders enjoy drives me and other Nigerians naught.
Mr. President, not only that our constitution is so flawed but our judiciary is very corrupt. Thus, making our public office holders too powerful and very arrogant. Sir, with this inherited form of immunity, sovereignty can never belong to the people, who voted their various representatives. You will agree with me that, many of them are 'brought-forwards' from the past administration, while others are already corrupt, as a result of the corrupt system they operate.
Mr. President, you will be remember till thy kingdom come, if you do everything within your powers to influence the removal of the immunity clause in the Nigerian Constitution. I will implore you and other corrupt free individuals in your led government to DAMN THE CONSEQUENCES, after all, your slate is clean. Sir, i will like to remind you that your administration will be 2 years in a blink, and will be remembered not only by the things you achieved but by the obvious, you failed to achieve.
Mr. President, do not trust whoever disagree with my opinion, they are mediocres and hypocrites, and don't mean well for your government and nor do they pray for our heritage. Sir, you will agree that the ongoing crises rocking the APC-led House Of Representatives and the Senate have more to do with 'FORGERY & STEALING' from tax payers monies, abuse of public office and self driven interests, by members of the National Assembly.
Mr. President, i seek your indulgence to allow me submit that until the said immunity clause is removed from the Nigerian Constitution, our lawmakers & other public office holders will remain 'Outlaws' and will never cease to frustrate the efforts of your administration to make Nigeria better. Lastly, I will implore you not to keep enemies, do everything within your powers to save the country from the impending catastrophe and also to break the barriers built around you by the 'enemies' of our great Nation.
Happy 56th Independence Anniversary, Mr. President.
Yours faithfully
Sulaiman Kazeem
