Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mike Ozekhome has stated that the Buhari government is allergic to criticism.
Ozekhome made this known in reaction to the arrest of the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, by the Department for State Security, DSS.
Sowore was picked up last week following his plan to stage a protest demanding for good governance.
Speaking on Channels TV, Ozekhome stated that the planned protest is. Ot an act of treason.
He said: “Dancing on the street saying we don’t want bad governance how does that amount to treason, unreasonable felony?
“This government is allergic to plurality of voices, this government is allergic to criticism, this government is allergic to opinions. This government should know that Nigeria is a country with many colours.
“You cannot sample opinions. We cannot all sleep on the same bed. This government should learn to be tolerant.”
