Leader of Afenifere Worldwide, Chief Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, has described President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the apex court,Thursday, as monumental.
Chief Fasoranti in a statement on Friday by the Afenifere National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, lauded the seven Justices that adjudicated on the cases both at the panel and Supreme Court levels “for being so painstaking in their assignments”.
According to the leader of Afenifere Worldwide, “Tinubu’s victory is monumental because of the clarifications made in respect of certain aspects of our electoral processes.
“One of such was the pronouncements made regarding the position of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Ditto for the position of the law in regard to the deadline for filing papers relating to elections.”
Lauding the judiciary, Chief Fasoranti congratulated Nigerians for the peaceful atmosphere that, on the whole, characterised the whole electoral and judiciary processes.
Chief Fasoranti then reminded President Tinubu of some of the issues he (Fasoranti) had raised with him (Tinubu) in the recent past, especially the problems confronting the country, particularly in the area of security.
“It is a matter of concern that insecurity is still being experienced. This can be seen in the upsurge in banditry, kidnapping, herdsmen and attacks on farmers, cultism and even terrorism.
“To put all these under control, the following were suggested as immediate steps to be taken:
the aspects of the law regarding policing in Nigeria be looked into. At the moment, the extant law centralises the Nigerian Police. Doctrine of necessity be invoked to allow States and Local Government Areas to establish police services.”
