Speaking with newsmen on the sidelines of the CCT, Waku said that he was mandated by the Arewa Consultative Forum to observe the proceedings, and report back to the Forum.
He said:
“I
have been watching you guys in the television and reading you in the
newspapers, and I was mandated by the Arewa Consultative Forum to come
here as an observer and watch the procedures and go back to report what I
have found.
“My
observations are that there is a premeditated something that is going
on in this country. The judiciary is on trial, the country is on trial,
the Justices are on trial and we are watching to see, because similar
cases have gone on before and we know how they ended.
“So, my observations here today
are those things that I have witnessed and I have to go back to the
mother organizations to report my findings, my witnesses, what I have
seen and the way I have looked at it.
“I
think that Nigeria is again moving through a trying period of Judicial
process and I make bold to advise that the prosecution witness do not
have prerogative of knowledge but from the look of things, there is
already tele-guided judgement that one expect to see in future and that
may not be good for this country.
“It
will not be good for Judicial process, it is not going to be good for
democracy and it will not be in the best interest of the 'Change' that
we are looking for.
“In
as much as we are against corruption, let the legal process take its
due cognisance that it is the last hope of the ordinary and common
persons. That is my observation.”
