Opinion: Governor Wike, COVID-19 and the “Doctrine of Necessity”, By Inibehe Effiong

If we are tired of the rule of law, we can abolish the Constitution in its entirety and live like animals without rules. We cannot be professing civility, while supporting illegality and impunity.

I insist that there is nothing difficult in following the law. It should not take more than a day to comply with the Constitution or the Quarantine Act. The incompetence and gross irresponsibility of our leaders cannot be the basis for justifying anarchy and impunity. All serious countries have invoked or enacted emergency laws to tackle coronavirus.

Long years of military dictatorship should not make us to forget so easily that some people sacrificed their lives to chase the military out of power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
