“We have watched with dismay the brutal murder of Nigerians across the country- the latest being the Rukuba massacre in Jos and the Kagarko, Kaduna brutal killing of wedding guests amongst several other unreported or under reported cases of tears, sorrow and blood across the country.
“Sadly, the Government is not concerned about carrying out its primary responsibility, they are only fixated on renewing the mandate, despite failing in the one they are currently enjoying- one good mandate deserves another.
“Would Tinubu and his cronies in Government renew the contract of a staff on a tenured employment if the hired staff failed on all indices as they have?
“To our brothers in Jos, Kaduna, Kwara and other volatile states, you have an inalienable right to defend your ancestral homes, lives and properties.
“By virtue of Section 33 (2) (a), (b) and (c) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, killing any person in defense of your life, property, unlawful violence or in order to effect a lawful arrest and or for the purpose of suppressing a riot, insurrection or mutiny is not murder- it is your right to defend yourself and if the attacker dies in the process, you are not guilty of unlawful killing.
“The Rukuba massacre was foretold, credible intelligence report was availed security agents about the planned, impending attack but their focus was converging on Abuja for the APC National Convention.
“Section 14 (b) of the Constitution mandates that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government because sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through the Constitution derives all its powers and authority.
“The legitimacy of the government lies in the proper execution of this core mandate, a government that has failed in this core area has no legitimate business seeking for renewed mandate.
“Nigerians must rise and defend their ancestral homes, lives, properties and take back their country. Enough of the docility”
Marshal Abubakar
