Must Read!! See what lawyers are planning to do to Buhari next month.

A group of legal practitioners have decided to stage a rally in Abuja to show support for the anti-graft war being championed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group, of Coalition of Lawyers Against Corruption in Nigeria (COLAC) plan to stage their rally on March 25.
This information was made available by the executive members of the group led by Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose during an official visit to the State House in Abuja
The group was received by Mr Femi Adeshina, the special adviser to the president on media and publicity.
Also on the delegation were three zonal directors, Barristers Muhammed Garba from the North-West), Muhammed Musa representing the North-Central and Ejike Ben Anwu of the South-East. The lawyers said a minimum of 500 lawyers from different parts of the country who will go in a motorcade round Abuja, sensitizing the populace on the need for all and sundry to join, and, indeed, own the anti-graft war.
Bamgbose said: “The war is not for President Muhammadu Buhari alone to fight. It is for all of us. When corruption is tackled, the power problem will be solved, health care would be provided, there would be quality education, and the quality of lives of Nigerians would improve. It is, therefore, in our own interest to join in the corruption war, and that is what COLAC is out to achieve.”
Adesina, in his response, appreciated the lawyers for partnering with the government in the corruption war, assuring them that they had embarked on a worthy cause, as President Buhari was resolute in his determination to clean up the country.
Meanwhile, dozens of Nigerians took to the streets of Abuja to support the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission  anti-corruption campaign and latest arrests of prominent Nigerian public figures.
