ADC PCC Denounces Arrest of Protesters in Borno State
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) condemned the arrest of members of the "Tinubu Must Go" (TMG) movement in Maiduguri, Borno State, describing the action as an abuse of power. Kola Ologbondiyan, the Director of Media and Publicity for the ADC PCC, stated that the arrests were an attempt to intimidate citizens expressing their political views.
He emphasized that Nigerians have a constitutional right to express their political preferences, including calls for the removal of President Bola Tinubu. Ologbondiyan criticized the actions of Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, asserting that such intimidation would not deter citizens from participating in the 2027 elections.
The ADC PCC called for the immediate and unconditional release of those arrested and urged the authorities to ensure their safety. Ologbondiyan recalled that during the opposition period of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former President Goodluck Jonathan did not arrest citizens for exercising their right to free speech.
