A man who vowed on national television that no judge in Nigeria will grant bail to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, where he hitherto defied two separate court orders of competent jurisdiction that granted Kanu bail. Upon that, he has been indicted by Amnesty International for ordering for the extrajudicial executions of over 150 pro-Biafra agitators including those illegally detained in various detention facilities across the country. Doesn’t it therefore, smirks of hypocrisy for this same power monger and military dictator in democratic garb to tip off to Gambia to intervene on democratic issues when he has no regards for the same democratic principles? Buhari’s sadistic personality could be best described as one who is clean outside but dirty inside; a saint outside but a disgusting monster inside who carries himself as an angel whenever he finds himself outside the shores of this country. We would campaign for the Palestinians and Western Sahara to regain their independence but would murder innocent and people civilians asking for the same independence from the Nigerian state. The height of hypocrisy and ignorance exhibited under his presidency has been alarming and stunning. By Chukwuemeka Chimerue Published By Nwosu C.S For Biafra Writers
