Our advise to Buhari is to obey the rule of law. Democracy is all about rule of law; it is not a rule of force.
Those that the courts have granted bail should be set free. The law should be obeyed so that these people will enjoy democracy.
Then, if at the end of the day they are found wanting, after prosecution, they should face the law. Bail does not jeopardise prosecution.
The President should also respect all constitutional rights, since we are not in military regime.
