It has been over 24 hours since the Supreme Court issued an order prohibiting President Muhammadu Buhari from withdrawing the old N200, N500, and N1000 notes from circulation. The government is yet to act accordingly. This is not the first time this has happened.
All government officials, including the president, the Minister of Finance, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Attorney General, must follow the Supreme Court’s decisions, except President Buhari, an ex-military despot dressed in democratic presidential agbada refuses.
It is a President’s duty to obey court judgments in an environment of laws and governance, but not Buhari, the itinerant President who has sought to break one rule after another. And has conditioned an environment that allows Nigeria’s central bank governor Godwin Emefiele to also show disobedience.
The president through his body, verbal, nonverbal and authoritarian manner continues to abuse the rule of law and his official follows are doing the same.
