Lai Mohammed has said the threat of mass action by some groups over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria(CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, will have no effect on the justice that will prevail.
“More Nigerians are with us than are with them on this issue, going by the feelers that we are getting from across the country.
“Those who want to protest against the suspension of the CJN should feel free to exercise their rights within the limits of the law,’’ he said.
He also blasted the opposition for fuelling the fire.
“The opposition, in its reaction, is guilty of engaging in hysteria and overheating the polity.
“Conveniently, they have anchored their failed campaign for the 2019 elections on an issue that is totally unrelated to the elections.
“By their reaction, they have made their tattered umbrella available for shielding alleged corrupt persons.
“Their leopard can never change its spots. The PDP is corruption personified and its only reason for seeking a return to office is to complete their looting of the national treasury.
“The attack dogs unleashed by the opposition have been engaging in incitement and other actions that can threaten law and order.
“There is no cause for alarm as the law enforcement agencies are alive to their responsibilities,’’ he said.
