After Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy called for the arrest of the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi on Saturday, Pat Utomi, a Labour Party chieftain has responded.
Onanuga, In a post that he made on his X account noted that the supporters of the former governor of Anambra state are the ones orchestrating the nationwide protest.
According to Onanuga on X;
“Don’t be fooled: the malcontents planning to stage nationwide protests are supporters of Peter Obi, the failed presidential candidate of the Labour Party. And he should be held responsible for whatever crisis emanates from the action. The protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest in Nigeria in October 2020”. …CONTINUE READING
Responding to Onanuga’s claim, Utomi stated that he is not against protest because it is a legitimate instrument of democracy.
Utomi’s post on his X handle reads;
“Let it be clear that I have nothing against protests. It is a legitimate instrument of democracy for raising the voice of citizens. I have participated in many in my time. From my undergraduate days at UNN to marching with concerned professionals following the June 12 elections annulment. Even though I did not know the organizers of the EndSARS protests, I supported it. So, if I were part of whatever is being planned for August, I would wear it as a badge of honour and not wait to be called out by Bayo Onanuga”.
