January 18, 2022Nigerian-born Alberta justice minister, Kelechi Madu, has been asked to step back from his ministerial duties following a traffic violation controversy that happened in 2021.
Mr Kenney tweeted that he conveyed his profound disappointment in Mr Madu’s decision to contact the Edmonton Police Chief after receiving a ticket for a traffic violation. He added that ‘’Minister Madu told me that he did not ask to have the ticket rescinded, nor was it his intention to interfere in the case, and that he promptly paid the ticket.’’
“Minister Madu did contact me via the telephone concerned about a ticket. But just to be very, very clear, he never asked to get out of the ticket,” Mr McFee told CBC News in December, adding that he did not know exactly what was on the ticket.Mr Mcfee said during the call, Mr Madu expressed concern about people of colour being stopped by police and, separately, political tension with the Lethbridge Police Service.
So many takeaways. The law is supreme in the developed world. Imagine stopping Malami for a road malfeasance; even on suspicion of it. The officer will be sent to trace the cattle route. There is also the issue of race. I am glad that the minister desired clarification on that.
Minister Madu the IPOB Diasporan Lawyer Bites the Dust ..,.corrected !
This is very proper.
