Executive Immunity; don’t want to be prosecuted then quit criminality and or shove leadership ambition; to be president, governor are personal choices; 
Even in the medieval times Kings were not immune from banishment, dethronement, and prosecution from criminal conducts.  We all know that justice postponed, delayed is justice denied. In Nigeria today the governors prosecute and even unjustly demote royal fathers.  For those who ignorantly or criminally argue against the prosecution of a president, governor for a felonious conduct, my question is; should a governor caught red-handed committing murder not be prosecuted just because his is a governor? If this is the argument of these potential criminals and accomplices then they must believe that not only are criminal chief executives above the law but they must actual be gods.  But the last time I checked, a governor, a president are but servants of the Master, the people. If the Master, the people are prosecutable what is the rational for the argument against the prosecution of the servants of the people (the governor, the president), when preponderance evidence shows that the governor or the president may have committed criminal acts?
 At maximum, the immunity clause for elected public servants should be highly limited. The president, governor, members of parliament should not have immunity from prosecution for corruption, bribery, and money laundry, abuse of authority, subversions, and from other felonious acts. The national and states assemblies can institute impeachment action against a president or governor respectively suspected of having committed any of the above act. NBA, any nationally registered none-for-profit organizations and comparable states’ organizations, institutions of higher learning, anti-fraud agencies, courts, federal ministry or agency, and state ministry or agency can bring legal action against a seating president, governor and or a parliamentarian, state or federal official if such entity believes that the president, governor, a parliamentarian have committed any of the impeachable or criminal offenses. False, frivolous accusations against any public official is a libel offense; anyone, group, institution, agency found guilty of libel should receive a mandatory jail term, and or monetary fine. The victim of libel shall receive a monetary compensation
