Cancelled Protest : A National Shame, Embarrassment – Soyinka by Zubby56(f): 1:00am On Feb 07, 2017 |
MUST READ OOO!!!!) !!!!!!! Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has said that the cancellation of 2Face Idibia planned protest was a deep embarrassment and a national shame ‘triggered by the state’s attempt to water down the criminal code against corruption’ and that the police reversed the hands of the democratic clock. Wole Soyinka in a an article on Saharareproters said the he had written a letter to the Inspector-General of Police, through the Commissioner of Police, Lagos state demanding that the protest be allowed so as to respect and safeguard the constitutional rights of Nigerians. Saturday (Saturday, Feb 4), the media offered the nation a space of relief when it carried the expected news of a mutual accommodation reached by the organizers of the demonstration planned for tomorrow Monday February 6th. The theme in summary: public discontent with the state of the nation and its governance. From the beginning, the organizers had cited quite an extensive list of such areas of concern and demands for urgent attention. To my personal consternation, today’s (Sunday) the same media countered that announcement with a stiff repudiation from the apex of the Police command – the office of the Inspector-General. It is such a huge disappointment, and a disservice to the cause of democracy, tolerance of dissent, and principle of inclusive governance. An unnecessary but important reminder: the battle for the right of lawful assembly of citizens in any cause, conducted peacefully, has been fought and won several times over. It is time that this contest is gracefully conceded. It must be consolidated by its routineness as a choice of action at the front of any people’s democratic participation. This battle has been won legally, constitutionally, and even morally. It enjoys near global acceptance as one of the means of actualizing the protocols of a people’s Fundamental Human Rights.

I prefer commonsense to PhD. It really baffles me how this man is disgracing himself quite often. He was a propeller to where we're today. I weep for Nigeria, we have a lot of idiots at the top. 3 Likes |

why didn't you encourage him before he changed his mind I'm sure your advice would have gone a long way....No one should criticize Tubaba for anything......at least he successfully created the awareness which also paid off |

If to face 2face in his own issues he will die before he wakes up tomorrow okay, let just say he is drunk |

In as much as I support the protest I don't believe this story... I don't know who will believe this. A whole Soyinka wrote an article in Sahara Reporters website |
