Falana, while addressing the rally, said the President’s speech on the BBC was “a hoax.”

He said the voice was a computerised and synchronised voice of the President and was far from the voice he was familiar with.

He said, “Enough of poverty in the midst of plenty, enough of poverty, enough of the tag of terrorism; enough of absentee Presidency, enough of election malpractices, enough of the collapse of infrastructure.

“Today, we are sounding a wake-up call to our people. We want to show them that we have not been conquered. We are a free people.

“Those who say that the President of Nigeria can govern from anywhere are talking rubbish. When Governor Rashidi Ladoja was impeached by the Lamidi Adedibu gang of thugs in a hotel in Ibadan, the Supreme Court of Nigeria held that it was illegal to convene and hold the sitting of a House of Assembly in any other place other than the House of Assembly.

“Therefore, to purport or claim that the President of Nigeria signed a law in an unknown hospital is illegal under our law.

“This morning, they claimed that the President spoke on the BBC in a very wobbling voice, but I am saying here that the voice of the President I am very familiar with is not the voice on the BBC. What happened this morning was a charade, computerised voice of our President.

“We are, therefore, challenging him and his spin doctors to address us on the television. We want a live telecast.

“We pray that he does not die, but we are saying that he has become incapacitated to govern Nigeria. The constitution does not provide for a President ruling us from a sick bed, in an undisclosed hospital; please enough of the insult.”
