PUNCH: Why We Are Calling Buhari A Military Dictator

PUNCH, one of Nigeria’s leading national newspapers says it will henceforth not recognize the Muhammadu Buhari government as a democratic government but confer it as a dictatorship upon its poor adherence to the rule of law.

The newspaper in an editorial on Wednesday said it would also recognize Buhari with his military rank of Major General which the paper said is reflective of the actions of the government he runs.

The paper in the editorial noted the disrespect to court orders for the release of Omoyele Sowore, Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and Col. Sambo Dasuki.

Upon the assertions, the newspaper said:

“As a symbolic demonstration of our protest against autocracy and military-style repression, PUNCH (all our print newspapers, The PUNCH, Saturday PUNCH, Sunday PUNCH, PUNCH Sports Extra, and digital platforms, most especially Punchng.com) will henceforth prefix Buhari’s name with his rank as a military dictator in the 80s, Major General, and refer to his administration as a regime, until they purge themselves of their insufferable contempt for the rule of law.”
