The Punch Newspaper says it’ll now prefix President Muhammadu Buhari’s name along with his rank as a military dictator in the 80s in most its publications in protest against disregard for the rule of law by his administration. In an editorial entitled ‘Buhari’s lawlessness: Our stand ‘, on Wednesday.
”As a symbolic demonstration of our protest against autocracy and military-style repression, PUNCH (all our print newspapers, The PUNCH, Saturday PUNCH, Sunday PUNCH, PUNCH Sports Extra, and digital platforms, most especially Punchng.com) will henceforth prefix Buhari’s name with his rank as a military dictator in the 80s, Major General, and refer to his administration as a regime, until they purge themselves of their insufferable contempt for the rule of law,” it said.
