On February 8, 2017, the Coalition for Rule of Law had written a letter addressed to the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, stating that the continued failure of the Federal Government to extradite the “wanted” senator was an embarrassment to Nigeria. A copy of the letter was also sent to the United States Ambassador to Nigeria. The group, in the letter, recalled that the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeal recently upheld the judgment of a lower court that the senator should be brought to trial in the United States. It noted that the senator’s case remained “a big minus for the Muhammadu Buhari administration,” as Nigerians abroad were being subjected to ridicule because of it.
