Such a swirl of fate for the men whose intelligence and prowess lie only in the barrels and magasins of semi-automatics and automatics is a big threat to those who are the beneficiaries of militocracy. But for an honourable member of the Nigeria's National Assembly to call for military intervention just eight months of fourth incipience of democracy is in all ramifications inexplicable, despicable, unguided and unbecoming. It's ironic for a man who has sworn to defend the constitution of Nigeria to call for a cuop d'etat. Some law-makers, in discussing this blatant disregard for constitutional supremacy of the land, argued that Senator Waku has freedom of expression guaranteed by the constitution. But the same constitution frowns vehemently at acts tantamount to sedition or incitement of sedition.
Sedition is a felony.
Felony is within the purview of crimes against the State. By state, Nigeria is referred to here. Under the military law, Senator Waku knows that his utterances are mutinous and would call for court-marshalling. It is in the same metaphor that his suspension from the Senate is the first step in dealing with the cancerous co-mingling of ethnocentrism with sedition. The Senate and the lower House of Representatives have done well by asking their Information, Ethics and Privileges Committees to look into the matter.
