The right to protest is a right guaranteed by the constitution of Nigeria and it is terrifying to see that it is the Police that is meant to be enforcing the law are those breaking it.
I strongly condemn the use of force against peaceful protesters and subsequent arrest of our party’s supporters and members who were merely exercising their rights. Not only were they arrested; they were molested, brutalized and shot at.
I also call for the Police to at all times respect freedom of the press and stop harassment and clampdown on the media.
As the world celebrates #HumanRightsDay, I call for the Nigeria Police to operate within the full ambit of the law and desist from oppressing law abiding citizens who only have their voice as their only weapons to stand for the truth.
I call on the Nigerian people to join African Action Congress to build the Nigerians we want for ourselves.
Use your vote, which is your power, to send the oppressors, political jobbers out of power and elect the vibrant and forward thinking members of AAC led by Omoyele Sowore.
The People United Will Never Be Defeated.
