Adebayo demands release of five ‘Tinubu Must Go’ protesters detained in Borno

Prince Adewale Adebayo, presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has demanded the immediate release of five 'Tinubu Must Go' protesters currently held in Borno State. Adebayo's Movement Adebayo for President, MAP, condemned the detention as an attempt to stifle dissent and silence opposition voices. The protesters, including Ba'ana Grema, Mustapha Abba, Abacha Mohammed Ali, Adam Umar Gubio, and Abdulhamid Mohammed, are accused of participating in a peaceful protest against President Bola Tinubu's administration.

Adebayo emphasizes that expressing political opinions and peacefully demonstrating against government policies is a constitutional right. He challenges the Borno State government, led by Governor Babagana Zulum, and law enforcement agencies to uphold citizens' fundamental rights. Adebayo warns against any attempts to suppress peaceful opposition and urges the Nigeria Police Force to remain neutral during the upcoming 2026/2027 campaign season.

He calls on citizens, statesmen, and stakeholders to support the release of the five detainees and reaffirms his commitment to a Nigeria free from oppression, poverty, and insecurity.
