Respected Lagos Politician Angers Populace With Claims That Protesting Against Buhari Is A Crime

One of the state publicity secretary for ruling party APC might have made a blunder he would find hard to recover from. Joe Igbokwe, one of the executives of the Lagos State chapter of the party, has said the ongoing ‘Resume or Resign’ protest against President Muhammadu Buhari is against the laws of the country.He said this during a TV interview this morning, where he was pitched against Deji Adeyanju, the co-convener of the #ResumeOrResign protests that started on Monday, August 7, 2017. When asked for his opinion on the protests, Igbokwe said, “You’re allowed to express your thoughts or to feel like you’re in a democracy; freedom of speech, freedom of thought.“We know where we are coming from. Deji, I think is the Acting Publicity Secretary of the PDP. When I saw Charly Boy sitting very close to him, I said this is just a PDP affair. He still speaks for the PDP. He has a right to protest, but you have to be very sensitive. What did the law say? The president was going out for medical treatment and he transmitted power, wrote to the National Assembly. That’s what the law says, and he moved on.
“The Vice President stepped in as the Acting President, so where’s the vacumm? None. Except for people who are looking for something. They don’t have any business to go and protest. It’s even against the law to protest that the president must resume or resign when the needful has been done.” Watch the full clip below;
