Following the Presidential pardon given to some eminent statesmen of Nigeria who had troubles in the early 1980s in the stiff military administration of General Mohammadu Buhari, the family of one of the recipients of the pardon has written a letter of appreciation to the president and dissiociated from the trending social media claims that the pardon is somewhat related to the Treasonable Felony crisis of the 1960s.
The statement reads..
Statement by Family of Late Chief Anthony Enahoro on Presidential Pardon on Chief Enahoro Ambrose Alli and others
“A State Pardon is an act of the Executive to set right some wrongs of the past. It’s an acceptance that some things which occurred during the time of military government need to be rectified.
Therefore we want to appreciate President Buhari for addressing the issue. All sons of former Bendel in general and Edoland in particular should appreciate th is gesture as a formal recognition of the public service rendered by these two distinguished sons of Esanland”

Pls Note : There is an erroneous trending post that my father’s pardon is related to his famous Treasonable Felony trial. IT IS NOT. Buhari’s pardons relate to what happened under military government. The writer did not bother to find out the truth by ASKING but decided to jump to his own conclusions which make no sense at all.
I will say no more.”A State Pardon is an act of the Executive to set right some wrongs of the past. It’s an acceptance that some things which occurred during the time of military government need to be rectified.
