    No government has right to repress citizens – Oby Ezekwesili reacts to ‘ban’ on Tuface’s protest

    The convener of the Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG group, Oby Ezekwesili, has reacted to plans by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, to truncate the planned nationwide protest by music icon, Tuface Idibia, against the Buhari-led government.


    The nationwide protest, slated for February 6  in the state, has since become a subject of controversy.


    Owoseni had vowed to stop the protest, saying the command wasn’t ready for that kind of demonstration and as such would not allow it to hold.

    Despite warnings, the Benue State born has vowed to go ahead with his planned nationwide protest against the government. .

    But responding to the order, the former Minister said the Federal Government or police had no right to repress citizens who have decided to speak out against obnoxious policies.

    On her Twitter handle – @obyezeks, she tweeted: “Please all join in praying for the #IStandWithNigeria Citizens that their march goes well & for the FG that it hears their agitation.
