President Muhammadu Buhari chose the most auspicious place to
officially declare his disdain for the rule of law and his avowed preference
for the rule of man, his own rule, in the Nigerian nation-state, where he has
been deploying his might in its vast capriciousness and whimsicality since he
stepped in the saddle on May 29, 2015.

The
declaration was last Sunday at the International Conference Centre, ICC, in Abuja, venue of this
year’s Nigerian Bar Association conference. Members of the Bar and the Bench
were there in their numbers. The assemblage of officers in the temple of justice
was representative of the nation’s judiciary, an independent arm of the trinity
of government.
