The scant attention given to the issues by the frontline presidential candidates may not be a measure of the importance they attach to the issues, but their manifestos which serve as the fulcrum of their campaigns, offer some hope.
It was the latest in the series of plethora of human rights abuses and flagrant disregard for court orders that President Buhari’s regime has supervised in the last seven and a half years. His prolonged detention in disregard of the court orders fuelled protests by Shiites, Mr Elzakzaky’s followers, across Nigeria.
Nigerian youth had gathered at Lekki tollgate in Lagos as part of a nationwide protest against police brutality. But soldiers moved in to clear the protesters and in the process killed several people, an independent panel of inquiry set by the Lagos State government found, despite the federal government’s denial of any murder at the scene.
Worse still, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party only made a passing mention of promoting “the rule of law” in his manifesto. The report said, “Compared with other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria is performing worse than average.”
