“This slide into fascism has included a sustained attack on the leadership of the National Assembly as President Buhari has sought to break its independence and make it a rubber stamp to suit his will,” the statement said.

“He (Buhari) has shown his desire to kill -off our democracy and convert it to an autocracy without checks and balances. The government has no regard for the rule of law; They do not care about court orders.”

The statementalso took a swipe on President Buhari over his alleged failure to respect the verdict of the ECOWAS Court.

“This government has disregarded the orders of the ECOWAS Court and every other court in the land and continues to detain (Sambo) Dasuki illegally,” it said.

“They continue to detain hundreds of Nigerians without bringing them to trial and against valid Court Orders.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Constitution in Section 153(1) (i) and Part 1 of the Third Schedule, thereto, establishes the National Judicial Council (NJC) and empowers same to regulate and discipline judges across the country.

”It is worthy to note that never in the history of our country has any president attacked the Judiciary in such a manner. Even the late dictator, General Sani Abacha, whose regime is remembered by many as the second worst regime in Nigerian history, did not carry out such Gestapo style attacks on the members of the Judiciary.”
