He said the situation that played out in court last Friday indicated that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari had lost its drift as a democratic nation.
“What happened at the court reminded me of the dark era of the military. The present government under President Muhammadu Buhari is like the military junta of the late Sanni Abacha where brigande held sway for years”, he said. “This is not the democracy we fought for between 1993 and 1998. I remember vividly as activists and pro-democracy groups, we put our lives on the line to ensure that our dreams became a reality. Now, we have lost touch with the ideals of a democratic setting being practised in other climes.
He noted that the restrictions of his movement to only Abuja meant the government was using the DSS to frustrate perceived oppositions.
