…Demand\u00a0 release of Chibok Girls, Leah Sharibu, Sowore, others<\/p>\n
A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
\nthe All Progressives Congress (APC) has revealed plans by prominent
\nNigerians in Diaspora to stage a massive apolitical protest against
\nGeneral Muhammadu Buhari at the forthcoming United Nations General
\nAssembly (UNGA) slated for 17th of September, 2019.<\/p>\n
He said the protest is aimed to demand for the release of all political
\nprisoners under the APC’s administration, freedom for the remaining
\nChibok girls, Leah Sharibu, Omoyele Sowore, Sambo Dasuki and Ibrahim El
\nZazaky.<\/p>\n
Other demands by organizers of\u00a0 proposed apolitical protest include; to
\nput a stop killings allegedly by Fulani herdsmen, ensure respect for the
\nrule of law, provision of adequate security, for Nigerians, stop human
\nrights abuses and to ensure that government stops interfering, harassing
\nand intimidation of the Nigerian\u00a0 judiciary.<\/p>\n
Other objectives are to put a stop to nepotism in the country, and more
\nimportantly, to urge the United State of American to include the Chief
\nof Army Staff and other Nigerian Service Chiefs in the Visa ban already
\nproposed for those that aided the rigging and violence that
\ncharacterized the 2019 general elections.<\/p>\n
A statement released to newsmen by Comrade Timi Frank, in Abuja on
\nWednesday, said the current administration does not practice democracy
\nand as such does not allow protest in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
“We urge all Nigerians in diaspora to come out and protest and the UN
\nGeneral Assembly in New York to make General Buhari understand that
\nNigeria belongs to all of us. This apolitical protest is to save Nigeria
\nfrom further destruction by General Buhari whose sole aim is to Islamise
\nNigeria.<\/p>\n
“A protest date will be communicated later, however Nigerians in
\ndiaspora should brace up for this mother of all protests as this is an
\nopportunity to let the world know about the plight of Nigeria and
\nNigerians.<\/p>\n
“All regional groups including IPOB, Ohanaeze, Afenifere, etc, in
\ndiaspora should take part in this apolitical protest to bring to the
\nknowledge of the world, the sufferings, human right abuses and
\noppression being meted out to Nigerians by Gen. Buhari.”<\/p>\n
The statement also called on the International Community to take note
\nthat Gen. Buhari has a pending case in the Presidential Election
\nPetition Court where the legitimacy of his mandate is being challenged
\nand until the judgment is given by the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the
\nPresident should not be addressed as President but as former Military
\nGeneral.<\/p>\n
“No world leader will accept or perpetrate the kind of killings,
\nimpunity and lawlessness being meted out to Nigerians in Nigeria by
\nGeneral Buhari’s government which does not allow freedom of expression –
\none of the fundamental human rights of a citizen in any democracy.<\/p>\n
“Finally we appeal to Nigerians in diaspora, especially those in USA to
\ncome out en-masse and join this forthcoming Save Our Soul protest. Let
\nus show love to our brothers and sisters back home who have been caged
\nand are not allowed to express their views freely.<\/p>\n
“Henceforth, Nigerians in diaspora should come out en mass and protest
\nagainst Gen Buhari and his lackey Yemi Osibanjo in any country they may
\nvisit as there is no peace for the wicked.<\/p>\n
“#FreeNigeriaprotest is the beginning of rescuing Nigeria from tyranny
\nunder General Buhari,” he said.<\/p>\n
He further called on Nigerians resident in other\u00a0 parts of the world and
\nwho can afford it to make their way to New York during the UNGA to join
\nthe protest as no sacrifice is too great to pay for the rescue the
\ncountry from, tyranny, wickedness and anti-democratic elements now in
\nthe saddle of governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
