Educate yourself properly about democracy- Ezekwesili replies IGP, says Nobody can threaten BBOG group
The
convener of the advocacy group for the missing Chibok girls, Bring Back Our
Girls BBOG, Oby Ezekwesili, has replied the Inspector General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris, who two days ago, said the activities of BBOG was threatening
the peace of Abuja (read here). While
speaking at the daily sit out of the group at the Unity Fountain, Ezekwesili
said nobody can threaten the group and that the IG needs to educate himself
properly about democracy.
“Our response is that he
(IGP) should ask for the file that recorded our advocacy between 2014 and 2015
when the previous administration used all kinds of tactics similar to this one
to try to violate our constitutional liberty. Not only did the constitution
uphold that right, the court also upheld our rights. He should just read this
files, he should be able to find what he needs in order to educate himself
properly about democracy and citizens’ right to peaceful assembly. We are a
peaceful movement as everyone knows, so we are not changing anything, no
retreat, no surrender. Are our girls back? If the government says that we are
unreasonable in demanding for our Chibok girls in the way that we have been
demanding for them since 2014, they need to show the evidence that counters our
stance".
