Adams Oshiomhole has responded to call by Chief Robert Clark (SAN) for President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over power to military as irresponsible.
The former All Progressive Congress, APC, Chairman said this in his office in Abuja while receiving the leadership of the Law Students Association of Nigeria on Friday.
Oshiomhole listed the evils that military regimes have done to Nigeria. Read his words below :
“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.
