Supreme Court Warns Buhari: Stop! Using Public Funds To Defend Yourself In Court by nairalandankrah: 1:19am On Sep 03, 2019
Supreme Court has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for using public funds to defend himself in personal litigations.

The apex court criticised Buhari for using lawyers paid by government during his election tribunal hearings.

The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate during the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, are challenging Buhari’s victory at the election tribunal.

Also, Kalu Kalu, Labaran Ismail and Hassy El-Kuris, are challenging the candidacy of President Buhari as the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress during that exercise.

The appellants claimed that President Buhari lied on oath in the form CF001 he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Abdullahi Abubakar, a senior lawyer at the Ministry of Justice, has been appearing for Buhari at the tribunal.

Justice Mary Odili, while reading the unanimous ruling of the five-man panel of the Supreme Court, questioned Abubakar’s appearance for Buhari, who was sued as a private citizen and not in his capacity as President.

The judge said when Bill Clinton, a former President of the United States, was sued, HE USED his PERSONAL funds to defend himself in court.

Odili described the situation as a CONTRAVENTION of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for public officers.

The court said, “The representation of Mr Buhari by the Senior State Counsel of the Ministry of Justice in his personal capacity and not as Nigerian President, is inappropriate.”

Peter Odili got a perpetual injunction from being investigated for looting N100 billion! The oga at the top is still Godswill Akpabio who had an EFCC case N108 billion naira before the fantastically corrupt Buhari appointed him Minister.

Does he even go online, visit social blogs new sites?

Thr fact is most Nigerians dont even know the kind of person the voted into power, mere looking at that his tooth pic picking picture you'll know he is just a stack dumb illiterate. Just bestowed upon the learned few citizens simply blc of union of his dumb massive zombies.

Do you know why SA can confidently do the sh*t they do, it's because they've seen a country so divided among themselves internally that they can barely stay united and speak with one voice against foreign attacks.
And to think some retards here on nairaland are saying the Nigerians there are just from a particular tribe, shows how low we've gone as a country. As a matter of fact, Nigeria can no longer be called a country if a fellow countryman can say sh*t about his own countryman in the full view of other nationals.
Nigeria will continue to be volatile to foreign attacks in other countries if we continue to be disunited. The world is watching, let the retards, tribalists and olodos take note of that
