FROM ME TO LAWYERS: WHERE DID BALA MOHAMMED DERIVE THE POWER TO STOP MINI-BUS FROM USING PUBLIC ROADS IN ABUJA

The roads in Abuja were built using the resources of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.The roads were not built by the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed and President Goodluck Jonathan with their personal monies which I understand is now very considerable since they assumed their various offices. Since the roads in Abuja belong to all Nigerians, where did Jonathan and Bala Mohammed derive their powers to stop some Nigerians who are operators of mini-bus from doing business on the roads of Abuja? With the army of human rights groups and civil society organizations as well as human rights lawyers in the country, why is it that Bala Mohammed has not been sued in a court of law to explain where he derived the power to stop mini-bus operators from getting their “daily bread”. I am not saying that mini-bus operators should not be regulated, but to restrict them to roads where it would be economically unviable to survive, in order to make way for the cronies of Bala Mohammed to have a major share of the transport business in Abuja is what I detest. Human rights lawyers should rise up in defence of the hapless mini-bus drivers before the three weeks grace granted them by Bala Mohammed expires. Funny enough the mini-bus operators were the once that was insulting our sensibility in the 2011 election when they emblazoned their vehicles with Jonathan’s: BREATH OF FRESH AIR! Jonathan and Bala have used and dumped them. Their indiscretion not withstanding, we all must rise up to help them. INJUSTICE AGAINST ONE IS INJUSTICE AGAINST ALL!
