We Expect Atiku To Lead National Protest – APC
CityNews reported that Atiku had criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration for trying to abort the planned August 1 protest across the country.
However, Basiru, in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Wednesday, said Tinubu has not stopped anyone from protesting or arrested anybody for criticising his administration.
The APC chieftain noted that the demands of the planned protest leaders were political and not about bad governance.
Basiru added that the Tinubu adminstration is working hard to solve the challenges facing Nigeria.
He said, “As far as I am concerned, talk is very cheap. I expect Atiku Abubakar on the day of the protest to lead. Nobody has stopped somebody to protest.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our party, the APC have not stopped anybody from protesting. At various radio and TV stations different people come with ideas some of them adverse to our government. Has anybody been arrested for criticizing our government? That is what democracy is all about heterogeneity of ideas.
“That protest is not about bad governance because when you talk about bad governance there are many parameters that come into play. I don’t know if you have seen the charter of the so-called leaders. Their demands are political.
“They said we should scrap the 1999 constitution and replace it with people made constitution, we should do away with the Senate and then the issue of minimum wage. The President has addressed the question of minimum wage.”
