If a legitimate government, elected to respect the rule of law will allocate land and it will be questioned in terms of impropriety then we have a very serious reason to worry. Also, if another government has reason for retrieving that land, except by demolishing all the buildings, then we have double jeopardy.
Speaking on Buhari administration, he stated that there was enthusiasm that he would fight corruption, insecurity, and a bad economy. But look at now after eight years, worse than when he came in. Certainly, the entire country had not been in the situation before.
He said that Tinubu should pay attention to two key things. One, the failures of Buhari can be repeated if not careful, he should not get carried away by the euphoria of actions and picking points. Secondly, he should be careful about policies.
He recalled that Tinubu came in to find out the subsidy had been removed. So, he shouldn’t take credit for removing the subsidy. Further stating that hev would have removed the subsidy if it was in place, but Buhari removed it.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, (SAN) has urged the Federal Government to urgently address the suffering of Nigerians as a result of the fuel subsidy removal.
Falana made the call while featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme on Friday night.
He noted that the fuel subsidy regime is a result of the irresponsibility of the government and its failed promises to reform the oil sector.
“The government will have to move speedily to address the suffering of the people, undeserved pains inflicted on the people, because of the irresponsibility of the Nigerian ruling class,” he said.
The human rights lawyer noted that the immediate past president, Muhammadu Buhari did not keep to the promise he made in 2015 to fix all the refineries when he gets to power.
