According to RULAAC, Malami and Emefiele are public officials, and their actions and inactions end at the president's table.
According to the group, President Buhari had failed to lead by example in the past court rulings, citing the cases of Omoyele Sowore, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, and Nnamdi Kanu.
The statement reads in part:
