The Nigeria lawmakers who are proposing or voting in favour of immunity for themselves are not being fair to the rule of law and the Nigerian people which they are representing. Information reaching Viewers Corner News from our correspondent in Abuja (Nigeria) revealed that some senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have concluded plans to carry this proposed law forward which means immunity for the senators including those who are currently being tried for various offences in the tribunal/court of law in Nigeria. This is absolute nonsense and very wrong, at this point it is very clear that the lawmakers are trying to play on the intelligence of all Nigerians. They are creating this law to suit themselves which is unacceptable, how on earth do they want the Nigerian people to understand and accept this aspect of immunity being given to the senators assuming?
No one should be above the law whether you are a serving senator or not because you all there are to serve the interest of the people of the country (Nigeria) and if you go against the law, you have to face justice. If this proposed law is passed, what sort of example are the lawmakers showing to the Nigerian people whom they are leading? Even if the law is passed assuming, it should not affect those who are already on trial, anything short of this would be regarded as manipulation and miscarriage of justice. We (Viewers Corner News) believe that all the cases being tried before this proposed law takes effect assuming is approved should be allowed to continue to a conclusive end because the case has already begun before this law is put in place therefore we advise the lawmakers in Nigeria to take not of this fact and anything short of this would not be fair to the rule of law and the Rights group in Nigeria may contest against it. Again the lawmakers are there to serve the people of Nigeria in an honest manner, that is why they are elected to office and not to arrogate powers to themselves. Nigerians both home and abroad are watching to see how this proposed worthless law of immunity for senators would play out, please let the lawmakers in Nigeria do the right thing by being honest to themselves and to the Nigerian people. Laws should not be created to suit a particular group of individuals in the country (Nigeria), this is unacceptable and against the will of God Almighty.
