What can you say about the President’s role in the protection of human rights?
In all respects, peoples’ rights were violated under his government and a lot of violations of rights adorned his administration. People were unlawfully arrested, journalists were gagged, and individuals’ rights were violated. We could see what the National Broadcasting Commission is doing to television stations. When NTA goes against the law nothing will happen but when other stations do the same they will be fined.
Do you think the regime worked with legal professionals and civil society organisations to promote the rule of law? They rather showed hostility to the legal profession and the CSOs. They never cooperated in terms of giving them a level of cooperation, inviting them to meetings on how to improve the rule of law. They never did that. They were very hostile throughout and they didn’t hide it and that was why the relationship that was supposed to be cordial was not there. The Attorney General of the Federation hardly attended any meeting the NBA called. Rather, he would send a representative.

Buhari takes Tinubu on tour of State HousePresident Muhammadu Buhari is taking the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, round the State House on a familiarisation of the seat of power. The duo walked into the Press Gallery of the State House after participating in the Jumat prayers at the State House Mosque. The President and his successor, followed by a large entourage of Presidency officials and security personnel, were guided on the tour by the State Chief of Protocols (SCoP), Ambassador Lawal Kazaure. At the Press Gallery, which is an adjoining space to the Council Chambers of the State House, the two leaders who stood for a couple of minutes, listening to their guide, did not speak to correspondents, who expected to have fire a couple of questions. A similar exercise took place at the Vice President’s Wing of the State House on Thursday when Vice President Yemi Osinbajo showed the Vice President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, round the wing.
