Osita Chidoka, a former Minister of Aviation, has penned an open letter to the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, concerning what he described as “violation” of the country’s laws by President Bola Tinubu’s regime.
Mr Chidoka referenced the manner of recent removal of the leadership of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the EFCC, Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency.
He wondered if Mr Tinubu seeks the Attorney-General’s opinion in exercising his presidential powers.
“The growing lawlessness and Gestapo tactics the government is deploying to achieve its objectives would deepen the damage the immediate-past administration did to the country,” Mr Chido said.
In June, Mr Tinubu suspended then governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele, and EFCC’s chair Abdulrasheed Bawa, over corruption allegations.
