Sanusi: CUPP To Sue Ganduje

THE Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, on Tuesday condemned the dethronement and banishment of Emir Sanusi II vowing to challenge the action in court.

Speaking through its spokesman Ikenga Ugochinyere at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, the group said:

“The banishment is a barbaric and mundane assault on Emir Sanusi’s human right as a Nigerian citizen provided under Sections 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 43 of the I999 Constitution as amended.

” His right to dignity of the human person,right to personal liberty, right to fair hearing, right to freedom of thought and conscience, right to freedom of expression, right to peaceful assembly and association,right to freedom of movement and right to own immovable property anywhere in Nigeria were all flagrantly violated by the Kano State Government and cannot be condoned in a democracy.

” Such nonsensical act of banishment is autocratic,dictatorial and in direct conflict with the constitution and must be resisted.

“No Governor or President has right to banish a Nigerian citizen or forcefully move him to any location in violation of right of movement, right to life and a multitude of other right except by an order of court. 

“As opposition ,we do not dabble into traditional issues but when government’s action tends to assault our laws and intimidate citizens for speaking out,we must at all times rise to say no.”
