Senior special assistant to the acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on media and publicity, Laolu Akande has made it clear that the Presidency has no intention of interfering with the proposed protest by Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face.
Akande, who spoke on the Channels TV programme today, Friday, said that the government of Muhammadu Buhari had no plan to crackdown on any anti-government protester.
According to him, Buhari administration is not in the business of countering protests as it is always ready to protect the right of the people to engage in peaceful protest.
This was even as the Lagos Police commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, threatened to arrest the singer if he dares hold the protest.
“Information reaching us revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the peaceful protest and at such, we won’t allow it to hold in Lagos. We know that Tuface does not have the capacity to contain such a crowd and we will not fold our hands and watch while things go out of hand,” Owoseni said. [myad]
