Alex Otti Opposes Peter Obi’s Endorsement Of August ProtestsThe Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has expressed a differing opinion from the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, regarding the planned nationwide protest.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Some youths are planning to protest across the nation from August 1 to 10 against the rising cost of living and economic hardship.

Naija News earlier reported that Peter Obi, during a courtesy visit to Governor Otti at his country home in Nvosi, Isialangwa South Local Government Area, endorsed the planned protest. The former Governor of Anambra State noted that it is the constitutional right of citizens to protest, highlighting that hunger and hopelessness are driving the agitation. He emphasized that protesters must conduct their demonstration within the bounds of the law.

However, in an interview with Channels TV, Otti acknowledged the country’s difficulties but pointed out that the bad governance people are currently complaining about started during previous administrations. He emphasized that protesting without police approval is illegal.

Otti stated, “It would be very unfair to say things are not difficult now. Things are very difficult, that is true, but how do you solve the problem? The problem we find ourselves in the country today is economic. We are actually paying the price for bad governance that didn’t start today.

“First of all, for you to organize a protest, the law requires that you get approval from security forces, particularly the police. Somebody should take responsibility for getting that approval.

“So, if you don’t have the approval, it will be against the law to go out on the streets and protest. My final word is that people should think about the implications of pouring out on the streets, restricting the movement of other people, and inflicting more hardship.

“For people in Abia, my advice is that people should not pour out on the street, because it may be more hurtful than the reason for the protest people are calling for.
