Insecurity: Clamour For Military Takeover Irresponsible – Oshiomhole

• “The parliamentary system was overthrown by the military, that is on record” – Oshiomhole
  

A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, says it’s shocking and senseless for anyone to agitate for military takeover from President Muhammadu, noting that such call is reckless.

The former Edo state governor was reacting to call by Chief Robert Clark (SAN) for President Muhammadu, to hand over power to the military in order to address the myriad of nagging challenges that ravage the country.

Clark, during a recent interview on TV, asked Buhari to hand over to the military since he was incapable of securing the lives and property of Nigerians

Reacting to Clarke’s recommendation, Oshiomhole said it was needless to clamour for military intervention because the country was on the right trajectory.

Oshiomhole made his position known when he received the leadership of the Law Students Association of Nigeria, in his private office, in Abuja, on Friday.

“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.
