Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has taken a swipe at Chief Robert Clark (SAN) for calling on President Muhammadu, to hand over power to the military, Njenje Media News reports.
Oshiomhole on Friday while receiving the leadership of the Law Students Association of Nigeria, described the call as not only shocking but also irresponsible.
According to him, it is wrong to canvass for military intervention, because the nation was going through a patch.
Njenje Media News recalls that Clark, during a recent interview on TV, had asked Buhari to hand over to the military since he was incapable of securing the lives and property of Nigerians.
In Oshiomhole’s words:
“I watched on a national television one of your very senior colleagues, Chief Roberts Clark. I was shocked when I saw him calling on the president to hand over to the military.
“I thought that was the height of irresponsibility, given his knowledge, given his age and a very senior member of the bar, and what is it that he wanted? He wants a military that will restructure Nigeria.
“It is again for me senseless, because the structure as it is today, who put it in place? Who overthrew the parliamentary system?
“The parliamentary system was overthrown by the military, that is on record. Who created 12 states from the four regions by decree? It was the military. The current 36 states and FCT who created it by military decree? It is the military,” Oshiomhole said.
