A member of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Femi Odekunle, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to use executive powers to subvert the shenanigans of the judiciary for the anti-graft war to succeed.

Odekunle, who accused the judiciary of shielding corrupt lawyers and judges, said the government needs to break the rule of law to win the fight against corruption.

He stated these when he appeared on Focus Nigeria, a programme on African Independent Television (AIT) on Thursday morning.

Odekunle said the judiciary has failed to support the federal government’s anti-graft war.


He said: “The only problem we are having is that we are not having the full cooperation of the legal profession in the matter (corruption). Lawyers and judges have this sentimental affiliation.

“The legal profession felt threatened by the stance of this administration on corruption, about the role of the legal profession, about the senior lawyers and about the judiciary.

“So there was a kind of development of some subconscious to protect their own. Perhaps there must be a way in which they can be reached to say the interest of the nation must come first.

“We have to find a way of breaking into this and one way of breaking into this is to engage in what I said. For example, somebody was quarrelling with me and I am being honest, without breaking the law. Fighting corruption involves roforofo fight.”

Another handouts selling professor.


Does he not know that anything done in illegality no matter how noble is null and void?


With advisers like this, Buhari's real enemies are not opposition members.

Once u subvert an independent arm of government, u go contrary to the rule of law. Once the rule of law is disregarded or thrown over for any reason, that is the mother of all corruption!

You cannot fight illegality with illegality. That automatically puts a question mark on the so-called fight. Are we in a military regime where the rule of law is suspended willy-nilly?

Such a shame!


This guy is not an Isoko person. He is an IPOB youth from the East impersonating the good people of Isoko ethnic nationality. Everyone should take note. No Isoko person would create a username such as his. It's so sad that he is misrepresenting the collective wishes of Isoko people here on Nairaland.
