President Muhammadu Buhari in Lome, Togo, advised states in West and Central Africa to always uphold the tenets of respect for rule of law, democracy and human rights saying that they are the panacea for good governance.

The President’s advice came few hours after eight members of the Benue House of Assembly out of the 30 member house allegedly served notice of impeachment to the state governor, Samuel Ortom, while the Imo State House of Assembly also impeached the deputy governor, Eze Madumere despite the pendency of the matter in Court.


But the Nigerian leader while contributing to the consideration and adoption of the Draft Declaration by the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Peace, Security, Stability and the Fight against Terrorism and violent Extremism in the Togolese capital called for collaboration among member states.


President Buhari made a strong appeal for inter-regional collaboration on maritime security, the fight against terrorism and other crimes through effective border control.
He said, “Respect for rule of law, democracy and promotion of human rights are also vital as they are attributes of good governance, which would enhance the socio-economic development of the two regions.


“It is also noteworthy to state that the subsisting collaboration among Nigeria, Chad, Cameroun, Niger and Benin in the fight against transnational crimes and proliferation of small arms and light weapons is exemplary.”
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu last night stated that the President noted that “Nigeria’s collaboration with the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), which is mandated to protect our environment, is existential because of the imperative to preserve the Lake Chad.”


The President said the Lake which had shrunk by 90 per cent, “has directly led to the economic hardship in the region, which has in turn created the enabling environment for the radicalization of the youth.”
He, therefore, called for greater focus on the refilling of the Lake Chad “as a long-term solution to one of the root causes of this existential threat.”


He noted that the Joint Summit was long overdue given the shared history and cultural ties of the two sub-regions and the common challenges facing them.
Buhari said: “Nigeria shares boundaries with two important ECCAS Members; Cameroun and Chad, with whom we share the same security threats, especially terrorism, illicit trafficking of small arms and light weapons, human and drug trafficking, smuggling among others. Therefore, collaboration between our two sub-regions has become inevitable at this time to enable us effectively confront the existing challenges.”


He said such proximity informed his engagement with the neighbouring countries as soon as he came to power in 2015, leading to the formation of “a common front to combating Boko Haram insurgency” through the Multi-national Joint Task Force (MNJTF) by the countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (Cameroun, Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Benin).


Reminding his fellow leaders of the African Union’s designation of 2018 as the Anti-Corruption Year under the theme, “Winning the Fight against Corruption: the Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation,” and his choice as Champion of the theme for the year, President Buhari called on them to “join hands in this campaign against corruption, as one of the root causes of conflict and other societal ills.”


He commended the efforts of the Chairpersons of ECCAS and ECOWAS for bringing together leaders of the two groupings to deliberate on important issues that required urgent attention.
He, however pledged that, “Nigeria will continue to support any effort directed towards peace building, security and stability, as well as the fight against terrorism and violent extremism in our two sub-regions and the world at large as an active member of the Global Counter Terrorism Forum (GCTF).”


During the opening session, the ECOWAS Chairman and President of Togo, Faure Gnassingbe; the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General, Mohamed Ibn Chambas; the Chairman of the African Union Commission, Mousa Faki Mahamat; and the ECCAS Chairman and President of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimba, had underscored the imperative for collaboration to overcome regional security challenges.


In the final communiqué, the 26-member joint organisation strongly condemned all kinds of illicit activities and trafficking by terrorist and mercenary groups operating in the Sahel and some ECOWAS and ECCAS Member States.
The Joint Summit also expressed serious concern about upsurge in and spread of violent conflicts among herders and farmers due particularly to the adverse effects of climate change.


The Heads of State and Government therefore instructed “the Ministers responsible for agriculture, livestock and security of the two regions, to hold regular consultations, with the participation of herder and farmer organisations, in order to identify measures for the preservation and peaceful management of these conflicts.”

My vehicle has been illegally detained since may 2012 on baseless and ridiculous allegation they could not prove but with the mission to make sure the vehicle get deteriorated and when all effort failed I approached Lagos state high court in Igbosere in the presence of HON JUSTICE I.O HARRISON (MRS) in SUIT NO: LD/1055MJR/2016 and and got justice on Feb 15, 2018 with order asking police to release the vehicle to me immediately. My vehicle has been illegally detained since may 2012 on baseless and ridiculous allegation they could not prove but with the mission to make sure the vehicle get deteriorated and when all effort failed I approached Lagos state high court in Igbosere in the presence of HON JUSTICE I.O HARRISON (MRS) in SUIT NO: LD/1055MJR/2016 and Police refuse to appear on sending 3 hearing notice to them on different occasions and letter was sent twice by my lawyer.
So I got justice on Feb 15, 2018 with order asking police to release the vehicle to me immediately.
So I took the judgement with letter from my lawyer to the police legal department and when I observed they didn't do anything on the matter I summoned courage to go meet the CP but I was disappointed he was so mean to me for he drove me away with so much disdain even without collecting or reading the judgement from me.
Can someone pls help me as I have been retrenched from my work and the vehicle remain only option of survival. I stay in a church now with my family.
I need help for the execution of the court judgement by CP ) Dan Nkem

Munzy14:
Who else discovered hypocrisy in this statement above?. I heard democracy and rule of law o. Nigeria we are in deep something..
Truth be told I am yet to see serious democracy since 2015, nor rule of law.
Is it following the Federal character in appointments??.
Is it using of police to harass law makers??
Is it tagging and staging of thin air corruption allegations against opponents??.
As in where is rule of law and democracy taking place in Nigeria, that our leader is calling for it at regional level in Africa.
We thought we have seen the messaih to save us from past administrations. Little did we know we are heading into military junta.
just mention but few, look at Dasuki, look at the shite Muslims leader,look at his finance minister's case, look at Babachir case, look at IGP matter,look at Abba kyari matter.etc.
In fact let me stop wasting my time talking about a coupist,a dictator,a tyrant, terrorist , corruption personified , fake mr integrity,certificateless and the dullard of the 21century

The president will never cease to amaze me.I wonder why the ECOWAS which Nigeria is a member has not pressurized this Dictator to obey the numerous court order in respect of Sambo Dasuki's case.The presidency said they will not release him because of the gravity of the offence or crime he committed. I am not supporting nor defending Dasuki but let's obey the rule of law which says that somebody remains innocent until he's been proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction irrespective of the massive evidence you are having against the accused.
