President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has condemned the decision
of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to ban all forms of public protest
in the state.
Onochie warned that Wike has no
right to infringe on the rights of people of the state by placing a ban on
peaceful protest.
Wike, through his Commissioner
for Information, Emma Okah, had on Thursday, said the ban on public protest in
the state takes immediate effect.
“All security agencies are
directed to enforce the ban in the interest of public peace, safety and order
in the state.
“The public is requested to
comply with this interim measure as defaulters will have themselves to blame,”
he had said in a statement.
However, Onochie, in a series of
tweets, wrote: “Protests have been banned in Rivers State by Wike. He has no right
to infringe on d rights of Nigerians to stage peaceful protests
“Protests have been banned in
Rivers State.
“Me: Is this not an infringement
on the rights of Nigerians who reside in Rivers State to protest?
“This is a taste of what would
have happened if @atiku won the election.
#LivingInBondage. I hail
Nigerians who reelected Pres. @MBuhari.”
