Attack On Buhari, Osibanjo Treasonable ,falana Says by SUPRRA: 9:39pm On Feb 13, 2019 |
Lawyer and activist, Femi Falana (SAN) has said
that the stoning of President Muhammadu Buhari
and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by supporters of
the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) during last
Monday’s campaign of the All Peoples Congress
(APC) in Abeokuta was treasonable.
Reacting to the ugly incident Wednesday, Falana
expressed regret that the Police has not arrested
anybody in connection with the attack on the
President, his Vice and other leaders of the APC.
He said Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State
cannot absolve himself of the blame as the chief
security officer of the state.
He regretted that governor Amosun visited Abuja
several times before last Monday’s campaign with
the governorship candidate of the APM, Adekunle
Akinlade, the President welcomed them to the villa.
He said the governor ought to have been told long
before the campaign that his activities were anti-
party.
The lawyer also blamed the various security
agencies in the state for the incident noting that
they did nothing to prevent or stop the attack on the
President.
He said the security agencies, despite knowing that
it was APC rally allowed another party and its
supporters to infiltrate the venue.

Falana contended that this ugly situation persisted
because Police and other security agencies that
should be alive to their responsibilities did nothing
about it.
He recalled that in 2007, when former President
Olusegun Obasanjo openly canvassed support for Dr
Olusegun Agagu against Dr Segun Mimiko.
He also recalled that some time ago, supporters of
former Oyo state governor, Chief Rasheed Ladoja
and Alao Akala clashed and six people died, the
Police did not arrest nor prosecute anybody over the
incident.
Falana lamented the spate of disrespect and other
acts against the person of the President of the
country by the opposition, describing it as an insult
against his office.
He recalled that during presentation of the 2019
budget, when the president was booed by some
members of the National Assembly, the only thing
he said was that ‘the world is watching’, noting,
“here in Abeokuta, he kept quiet and allowed the
situation to degenerated”.
He said when the President was attending rally of
the APC, similar incident happened in Port Harcourt,
Rivers State and Imo State in particular where the
state governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha was
campaigning for Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN)
gubernatorial candidate, nobody was cautioned |
