A civil society group the Nigerian Women Unity Forum For Good Governance has called on the Department of State security DSS to as a matter of urgency, release the past Chief Security Officer to former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Mr. Godwin Obuah the former CSO to the ex-President was arrested last Thursday for yet to be disclosed reasons. Reports from sources also suggest that Obuah being a diabetic patient has not been able to be attended by a doctor or has he seen members of his family.
The group through its National Leader Mrs. Felicia Okoro said the continued detention of the former CSO amounts to a complete abuse of his human rights. The statement said it is regretful that the present administration has chosen the ignoble road of trampling on the rights of Nigerians whom he swore in the constitution to defend. It wondered why the reason for his arrest is been kept warning that Nigerians will not fold their hands while innocent persons are hounded by the present administration through the DSS.
The group warned the APC led government at the center to avoid the pitfalls associated with the military which their Leader Muhammadu Buhari unfortunately, is part of. The group said as women interested in women development, it is appalled that a man like Mr. Godwin Obuah will be incarcerated and kept out from seeing his family. While condemning this act it said it feels the pains of his wife and family who will be suffering strong psychological trauma especially considering the way and manner he has diligently served the country.

The group advised the President and those prodding him in his road to infamy to look at better ways of delivering their ‘change’ promise without been seen to be trampling on the rights of their perceived enemies stressing that Nigerians will stand up to fight against such tendency no matter the excuse given to rationalize what it calls ‘selective witch hunt’. “We believe that the fact that Buhari became the president of this country despite failed attempts is not to selectively deal with members of the opposition party and his perceived enemies but to do his best to clear the rot left by those who have milked the country dry from the days of independence. He should learn to carry out his anti-corruption crusade quietly without being seen to be persecuting his enemies. This is democracy and the tenets of democracy must be respected no matter how in hurry he may seem to be” the women group posited.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
