Member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress, Buba Galadima and a former associate of President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Buhari to unfreeze the bank accounts of #EndSARS protesters.
Galadima gave this advice on Monday while featuring on Arise TV’s The Morning Show programme.
Galadima said that the clampdown on #EndSARS campaigners by the Buhari regime is unconstitutional.
His words: “What the government has done is not right. It has no such right or powers to block bonafide Nigerians from travelling out of the country or from accessing their (bank) accounts. Blocked for what? What have they done?
“These young men were peacefully protesting the actions, omissions or commissions of government. Why do you, after you persuaded them or after agents of government allegedly attacked or killed them, follow this draconian disposition of blocking their accounts? That is not constitutional.

“I’m sending this message to Mr President whether he knows or he doesn’t know, let him be shown what I am saying. His people have no right to do what they are doing. Please, they should desist and unblock the accounts of these young people and allow them to carry on with their normal activities as Nigerians. You cannot harass them, we are in a democracy, we are not in a military regime.”
