This cannot be achieved by the on-going selective probes and intimidation of some retired military officers who do not subscribe to the aspirations of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party. Useni s case is an example of executive intimidation. The beauty of democracy is about free entry and free exit to and from the political scene. It is from such a plurality that we can build a new consensus that will provide the nourishment for democracy to blossom. In this regard, APP believes that probes should not be selective.
Universal applicability is a cardinal tenet of justice.
The present blitz of anti-corruption pontificating has its most common test of sincerity in one area not in the current selective problems and vindictive confiscation, but in the prompt willingness of the President to sign the Anti corruption bill, as amended by the Senate, immediately into law. The amendments by the National Legislature have enabled this bill to meet the criterion of universal applicability. The bill beams its searchlights on all public operators including the Executive. So Mr. President start here. We cannot build consensus in federalism like ours without separation of powers between the democratic institutions that give it strength.
