Apparently, @GovWike's Court order from the judge called Oriji confining the #EndBadGovernanceProtest to the Stadium at the entrance into Abuja, does not apply to those protesting against the protest at the behest of the regime.

So, @Senator_Akpabio's brother whom @OfficialAPCNg hired as an anti-protest protester decided to emulate his elder brother & say what he was not paid to say. #ListenUp

Alarming trend under Tinubu admin: @MRA_Nigeria reports at least 45 attacks on journalists & media houses in 1 year, suppressing constitutionally protected freedoms of press & expression meant to hold govt accountable. A democratic crisis unfolds.

Journalists are encouraged to listen, read the anti-LGBTQ Bill and make their independent decisions. If you just believe Sam George, then let me break the news to you that, the proposed punishment for you is harsher than LGBTQ persons.
