President Buhari |
The International
Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) is deeply
pleased and highly appreciative of the widely published letter by the
Republican Party’s Congressman, Tom Marino of Pennsylvania, to the US
Department of State through the Secretary of State, Senator John Kerry, asking
the US Government to withhold its planned security assistance to Nigeria until ‘President Muhammadu Buhari
demonstrates a commitment to inclusive government and the most basic tenets of
democracy: freedom to assembly and freedom of speech’. Congressman Tom
Marino assumed office on 3rd January 2011 as Republican Party’s
Congressman representing the State of Pennsylvania and presently, he is a
member of the US House of Reps Committees on Judiciary, Homeland Security and
Foreign Affairs as well as Chairman, House Sub-committee on Regulatory Reform,
Commercial & Antitrust Law.
