There have been several reactions from social media users after Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, stated that the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi should be arrested for anarchy because his supporters are the ones behind nationwide protest.
He made the statement on his official X handle on Saturday. In the post that he shared on his official page, he said those planning the nationwide protest are supporters of the former governor of Anambra state and he should be held responsible for whatever crisis that emanates from the action. Bayo Onanuga also stated that the protest planners are the same people who were instigated by Nnamdi Kanu to launch the #EndSars protest in 2020.
Here is what Bayo Onanuga wrote on his official X handle;
“Don’t be fooled: the malcontents planning to stage nationwide protests are supporters of Peter Obi, the failed presidential candidate of the Labour Party. And he should be held responsible for whatever crisis emanates from the action. The protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive #EndSars protest in Nigeria in October 2020. #EndSars began as a genuine protest by youths against the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad, notorious for its high-handedness. IPOB members planning to extricate the South East region from Nigeria infiltrated the protest and hijacked it for their own agenda. Lagos still bears the scar of the malicious destruction by IPOB elements until today”.
However after he made the post, there were several reactions from social media users.
Here are a few comments from some of the people who shared their thoughts.
