The Spokesperson of the Coalition of Opposition Parties the CUPP
Hon Barrister Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere speaking to the Media through a well attended
world Press Conference organized by the Coalition of United Political Parties [CUPP]
in their Headquarters in Abuja today lambasted the Kano state governor Alhaji
Umar Abdullahi Ganduje over the dethronement and banishment of the former Emir
of Kano Emirate Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, which he described as Barbaric,
illegal and Unconstitutional.
He said “the dethronement and banishment is barbaric,
illegal and unconstitutional and a mundane assault on our constitution and a
violation of the fundamental human rights of Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as a Nigeria
citizen provided for in sections 34,35,36,38,39,40,41, and 43 of the 1999
Constitution as amended.”
“His right to dignity of the human person, right to personal liberty,
right to a fair hearing, rights to freedom of thoughts and conscience, rights to
freedom of expression, rights to peaceful assembly and association, rights to
freedom of movement and rights to own immovable properties anywhere were flagrantly
violated by the Kano state government and cannot be condoned in a democracy as
such it is autocratic and dictatorial and directly conflicts with democratic
constitutions and ethics..” He continued.
The CUPP Spokesperson warned that no governor or president
has the right to banish a Nigerian citizen or forcefully move him to any
location in violation of his right of movement, rights to life and multitude of
other laws except by order of the court. And he cited the appeal court case of
Governor of Kebbi State vs HRH Mustapha Jakolo[2013]where the appellant court
condemned and declared the banishment and deportation of a deposed king as
unconstitutional. “Is the Kano state governor above the law”? He asked.
The CUPP advised Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to seek redress
in court and pledged support of 3million Naira to the Legal team.
