ADC PCC Denounces Arrests of Tinubu-Must-Go Movement Members
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, by Governor Babagana Zulum's administration. Kola Ologbondiyan, the Director of Media and Publicity for the ADC PCC, described the arrests as a reckless abuse of power aimed at intimidating citizens expressing opposition to the government.
He asserted that such expressions, including the slogan "Tinubu must go," are constitutional rights and do not constitute a criminal offense. Ologbondiyan accused some governors of trying to impress President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the expense of citizens' rights.
He called for the immediate and unconditional release of those arrested and urged the international community to take note of the harassment against citizens exercising their democratic rights. Ologbondiyan warned that intimidation would not deter Nigerians from voting out President Tinubu in the upcoming January 16, 2027 election.
