Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) in 2023, have condemned the 'inhumane treatment' of minors arraigned for allegedly participating in #EndBadGovernance protests.
Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party in 2023, have condemned the “inhumane treatment” of minors arraigned for allegedly participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest.The protesters demanded a reduction in the cost of governance, the return of petrol subsidy regime, food security, and fiscal discipline, among others.
“A disturbing video of malnourished children being arraigned before a federal high court on the orders of the Bola Tinubu-led federal government has been brought to my notice,” Abubakar wrote. “A nation can be assessed by the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens. It is saddening that even underage children are not spared from the wickedness of T Pain,” he said.“The disturbing condition under which the alleged accused children were brought to court projects the very justification for their participation in the protest in the first place.
Obi said the suspects, including minors, were poorly handled while in federal custody, adding that protesting “bad governance is their constitutional right in a democratic dispensation”.
