public relations job for the President Muhammadu Buhari government in 2019,”
noting that the move would go a long way in rebuilding the confidence of
Nigerians and the international community in the country’s democracy.
“Although we should never have travelled this road
in the first place, the intervention of the AGF and the directive for the
immediate release of Dasuki and Sowore come as a big relief for Nigeria’s
democracy, and will a long way to restore confidence in the sanctity of the
judiciary and its place as the last hope of the common man,” he said.
He also commended members of the media and the civil
society who stood firm as bastions of the country’s democracy.
