The human rights and civil liberties campaign has become reminiscent of the full-blown military days of dictatorship! No democratic polity nor its president should permit this state of affairs. It is undermining our national cohesion and its global image. It suggests the absence of the rule of law. It is worrisome. And to imagine that we are in an Election Year, it should be double worry.
If I were President Olusegun Obasanjo, I will stop this ugly development TODAY. And make it a point of personal agenda to protect our freedoms under the 1999 Constitution. Doing otherwise diminishes us all.
