Ubani Critiques Excessive Movement Ban for FCT Elections

Ubani, a senior lawyer, criticized the movement ban imposed ahead of the Federal Capital Territory area council elections, labeling it as excessive and disproportionate. Speaking during an interview on Channel Television's Sunrise Daily, he acknowledged that while security agencies act on intelligence, the movement restrictions appear to infringe on citizens' rights.

Ubani argued that the evolution of Nigeria's democratic culture should not disrupt economic activities and emphasized the importance of political actors and citizens committing to peaceful conduct during elections. He warned that desperation for power often fuels tension and instability during the electoral process, highlighting the need for a balanced approach that respects citizens' rights while ensuring security.
