An Abuja based human rights lawyer, Hamid Ajibola Jimoh has declared President Buhari's nationwide broadcast illegal.

He said Buhari committed an illegality by addressing Nigerians barely two days after arriving from the UK on medical vacation.

He said Buhari had not submitted a letter to the National Assembly before making the broadcast which violated section 145 (1) of the Constitution.

Thus he said, the President had no powers whatsoever to make the broadcast as he was not empowered to do it the way he did. 

The broadcast, he declared is therefore “invalid, null and void”. 

In his words: “I am of the view that the President should apologize to Nigerians for contravening the provision of the Constitution if it is not a deliberate act. Law is different from morality, emotion or politics.

“After that, the president may now address the nation properly according to the law now that he has transmitted a letter of written declaration to the National Assembly.

“The principle of rule of law and constitutionalism is that everybody must be bound by the law. It is the supreme law. If we just close eyes on him we may be laying a bad precedent where any other person will just disregard the law. Of what use is law when they are not obeyed?

“Anything the President did prior to the transmission of the written declaration is null and void. The president, by the provisions of Section 24 of the Constitution is duty bound to abide by the Constitution.''
