Sowore: Buhari Govt More Intolerant Of Opposition – CNG

The Coalition of Northern of Group (CNG) has fingered the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of stifling oppositions, describing the arrest of the Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore as uncalled for.

“To attempt to stop someone from associating freely, from enjoying his right to freedom of association or freedom of movement is totalitarian. It is an attempt to suppress voices of dissent. This government has grown increasingly intolerant of opposition or criticism,” CNG’s Spokesman, Sulaiman Abdulazeez, said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday evening.

Eko Hot Blog reported on Monday that Sowore and four others were remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja, pending when their formal bail hearing slated for Tuesday, January 5, 2020.
