Ezekwesili Criticizes Tinubu's Government for Suppressing Civic Freedom and Eroding Citizen Rights
Former Minister Ezekwesili accuses President Bola Tinubu's government of being averse to accountability and suppressing citizen voices. She demands an apology from Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu for the actions of Nigeria's security agencies against activists like Yemi Adamolekun and Nafzig.
Ezekwesili points out a troubling trend of shrinking civic space and intolerance towards dissent in the state, citing instances of harassment during peaceful memorials, police crackdowns on protests, and repeated arrests of individuals like Nnamdi Kanu and Sowore despite court orders. She emphasizes the need for Nigerians to stand up for democratic rights and sovereignty.
