The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to make every day of his second tenure in office a rule of law day.
SERAP’s Deputy DirectorKolawole Oluwadare who made this known in a statement in Abuja, said the group had sent an open letter to the President ahead of yesterday’s inauguration.
He said the group message was centered on ensuring that every segment of Buhari’s administration daily operations is lawful and rule-of-law compliant.
Oluwadare said the deficits in the Rule of Law in the country have been particularly notable in three areas- failure to obey decisions of Nigerian courts, failure to push for transparency in asset declarations by high-ranking public officials.
He urged Buhari to use his second term in office to implement his oft-expressed commitment to the rule of law by immediately obeying decisions of Nigerian courts.
