President Muhammadu Buhari has been dragged on social media by former Vice President of the World Bank’s Africa Region,Oby Ezekwesili for freezing accounts belonging to promoters of #EndSARS.
Oby Ezekwesili did not mince words as she called out Buhari, reminding him that we operate a democratic government.
In a series of tweets, Oby Ezekwesili lambasted the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari for spending useful resources on misplaced priorities.
She wrote;
“We are a constitutional democracy and actions must be anchored on the Rule of Law. Miss Odele’s passport cannot be seized by NAIA Comptroller of Immigration on the “order” of Nigerian Army without an Order granted by a court of the land.
“We are not a military state, Buhari.I’m grateful to Femi Falana, SAN for always being available to take on cases of gross injustice against our citizens. Miss Modupe Odele @Mochievous is not standing alone. Millions of sensible Nigerians are standing with her.
“She and her peers gave Hope on what Nigeria could be.If the repressive acts of illegally seizing a citizen’s passport and freezing others’ bank accounts are meant to intimidate the young #EndSARS protesters into silence, it means Buhari government learnt no lesson from hiring thugs to break their protests. How pitiful,”
