An associate of President Buhari and member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress, Buba Galadima, has urged the President to order “his people” to unfreeze the bank accounts of #EndSARS campaigners who were clamped down in the aftermath of the nationwide demonstrations against police brutality.
Galadima
spoke on Monday while featuring on Arise TV’s The Morning Show programme.
According to
him, the clampdown on #EndSARS campaigners by the Buhari regime is
unconstitutional.
He said,
“What the government has done is not right. It has no such right or powers to
block bonafide Nigerians from travelling out of the country or from accessing
their (bank) accounts. Blocked for what? What have they done?
“These young
men were peacefully protesting the actions, omissions or commissions of
government. Why do you, after you persuaded them or after agents of government
allegedly attacked or killed them, follow this draconian disposition of
blocking their accounts? That is not constitutional.
“I’m sending
this message to Mr President whether he knows or he doesn’t know, let him be
shown what I am saying. His people have no right to do what they are doing.
Please, they should desist and unblock the accounts of these young people and
allow them to carry on with their normal activities as Nigerians. You cannot
harass them, we are in a democracy, we are not in a military regime.”
