Oshiomhole condemned the statements at the Presidential Villa after the APC Senate caucus and the party’s senatorial candidates met with President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Nigeria is not a colony. We will not accept any foreign interference in the internal affairs of Nigeria,” he said.

He argued that judges get dismissed in Europe and the United States without interference.

“They (judges) have been dismissed across the world when they are found guilty of corruption and the western world cannot, on the one hand when it suits them, describe Nigeria as fantastically corrupt and when a corrupt judicial officer is being charged, people want to interfere.”

Oshiomhole’s comments were in reaction to questions about the criticism that had trailed the suspension of the CJN.

Amid the storm caused by the suspension, the UK, the US, and the EU said in separate statements that they were concerned about the development.

While the UK said the timing “gives cause for concern”, the US said it “undercuts the stated determination of the government, candidates, and political party leaders to ensure that the elections proceed in a way that is free, fair, transparent, and peaceful – leading to a credible result”.

The Presidency has since criticised their reaction, warning that the government won’t tolerate interference, a position Oshiomhole defended on Monday.

Apart from faulting the statements, Oshiomhole called on Nigerians to defend the country’s sovereignty.

“I think we all have to be careful. We must defend the sovereignty of our country,” he said.

Despite his criticism, he said Nigeria remained open to maintaining a relationship with other countries.

“We welcome collaboration, we welcome peer review; we can compare notes. We welcome people who are interested in sharing experiences with us wherever the need arises whether it is capacity building or making useful suggestions on how we can improve on our electoral process. Those are very valuable contributions that we appreciate,” Oshiomhole said.

Then Nigeria should adhere to rule of law and allow the Constitution to remain supreme

The int'l community has a major say in what goes around in a nation or else we will continue to have leaders especially in African countries ruling with impunity.


Pls osho should hold his peace and control his mouth and not destroy the international relations we have labored to build over the years with these foreign nations as well as limiting our chances as citizens in gaining entering into these nations .

God bless Nigeria.

Your president said at NASS the other day that the world is watching.

Absolutely correct,they thought they were still in colonial days where servants obeyed orders most .example Yes master

While all the zombies are busy praising the big blunder of PMB is violating the constitution by unilaterally suspending the CJN, the AGF has started doing damage control by sending the report of the CJN investigation to NJC for further actions.

Like I always say we don't have to foolishly support every actions of PMB.
The president should remove all those who misadvised him to suspend the CJN.
Take it or leave it, the suspension of the CJN had caused great damage to PMB's reputation and electoral fortunes.

There are fifth columnists in APC that are deliberately misadvising the president to make mistakes. The sad reality is that must of PMB's supporters make themselves vulnerable and gullible by their blind supports.

It is funny how dis APC ppl have been running their mouth at d international community ever since dey took a stance.. A govt dat d President is an acting citizen of d UK and d US is vacation ground for d rest of dem

I once thought Adams was the common man fighter n libretor watching his days as NLC president and the fuel price increase....but after this man tasted power with APC and started dinning in Abuja, I just know something is wrong...
we may not be a colony, but remember nothing last for ever....

This one that Hell Rufai threatened to bulldoze his Kaduna houses for trying to return Shehu Sani as APC Senatorial candidate and he had to go pledge his allegiance to the midget.

Now compare that with a Nigeria that is totally dependent on the West.
