CityNews Nigeria recalls a presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday, accused supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate in the last election, Peter Obi, of organizing the ‘End Bad Government’ protest scheduled for August 1st to 10th.
According to Bayo, some X users, including one “FS Yusuf, a supporter of Peter Obi, Professor Pat Utomi, a Labour Party chieftain and another X user with the handle, Peter Obi’s First Son” are behind the planned protest.
Reacting, Utomi in a post on his official X handle, said he has nothing against the planned nationwide demonstration.
Utomi stated that his involvement in any protest would be made public and not wait to be called out by Onanuga.
He said, “Let it be clear that I have nothing against protests. It is a legitimate instrument of democracy for raising the voice of citizens.
“I have participated in many in my time. From my undergraduate days at UNN to marching with concerned professionals following the June 12 election annulment.
“So if I were part of whatever is being planned for August, I would wear it as a badge of honor and not wait to be called out by Bayo Onanuga.”
