Expel Amnesty International before we put on our rage, CSOs tell President Buhari over foreign interest to destabilize Nigeria


The Concerned Citizens’ Conference on Monday marked the 4th day of its total occupation of Amnesty International Office in Abuja to demand its expulsion of the from Nigeria.

The CSOs vowed not to stop until the international organization leaves the country.

According to the group, some foreign agencies were plotting to destabilize the country.

Danelsi Momoh, National Secretary, who spoke on behalf of the protesters, saod Amnesty International took it upon itself to be the face of some agents of destabilization at it has continually issued statements and tweeted support for the organizers of #RevolutionNow Movement.

He called on President Buhari to expel Amnesty International NOW or they would be forced to turn our rage against the NGO.

His speech below.

Dear compatriots, in recent days Nigeria has been confronted with a new brand of terrorism that is being packaged as activism. This cover of activism has been stretched to bestow a toga of respectability to terrorist organizations like the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN); we believe that Boko Haram elements, bandits and killer herdsmen are part of the protests being planned by this alliance or rebranded terrorists working with a bitter opposition.

Amnesty International took it upon itself to be the face of these terrorists. It has continually issued statements and tweeted support for the organizers of #RevolutionNow Movement even when it is apparent that their protest is an amalgam of organizations that have been properly proscribed as terrorist organizations or members of the opposition.

Since we began this protest to occupy Amnesty International’s office here in Abuja, we have taken time to investigate the social media handles of the officials of the NGO. We did this following the belligerent way they insisted on staying back so that they can complete their evil plot in Nigeria. What we discovered in the private social media handles of Amnesty international’s staffers is troubling and worrisome – their account showed individuals whose personal views are jaundiced to the point that they are openly anti-Buhari and counter-Nigeria.

We saw on their walls posts that were cynical of every move the government makes and even the seemingly objective ones of their posts were laden with innuendoes that are derisive of the country and its government. How then can such people or the organization they represent pretend at being neutral or objective?

It is equally ironic that Amnesty International is vocally supportive of protests that are branded and promoted as ‘Days f Rage’ to challenge hallucinatory bad government by people with criminal and terrorist backgrounds but the same NGO dismissed our protest at its office for meddlesomeness in Nigeria’s affairs as government sponsored. This clearly exposes the double standard that has always been the hallmark of an organization that brags about being interested in human rights adherence. By the same token that its clients can occupy the streets in violent and murderous protests we, as Nigerians, have the right to be present here as expression of our grievances against the injury being caused to our country.

Let us not lose sight of the facts of events up until this moment. One of Amnesty International’s clients, one Omoyele Sowore, who scored a few thousands votes as a presidential candidate in the last elections, openly called for Nigerians to join the protests with inciting comments like “except Nigerians bond together and bundle these guys out of our national space we are wasting our time” and “August 5 we are shutting down Nigeria” in apparent reference to forcefully overthrowing a democratically elected government. These threats and others that included destruction of some security organizations are the what Amnesty International is describing as “freedom of expression”. Sadly, some otherwise highly respected individuals have been parroting the NGO’s twisted position because they erroneously believe it is objective as per its international branding.

We have our fears. If this is the definition of freedom of expression it is a matter of time before some people start calling for the assassination of the opposition figure and some fanatics will carry out the act in an even shorter span of time. When this happens the likes of Amnesty International will accuse the government of carrying out the attacks. The risk of such accusation pales in significance when compared to the danger of Nigeria going up in a conflagration, which is consistent with what this so called international organization has always wanted.
On this fourth day of our occupation of Amnesty International’s offices in Abuja. We want to call attention to four things:

1. Amnesty International has track record of lying dating back to when it used a rehearsed actress as a witness to justify lies that Iraqi troops where throwing neonates out of incubators in Kuwait. It never walked back that lie. Such questionable means of gathering evidence is responsible for the growing suicide rate among its staff.

2. Amnesty International is complicit in the affairs of countries that have failed or presently in turmoil today. An organization that can facilitate the ongoing pogrom in Yemen and still be resolute in creating new failed states should not be welcome in any self loving nation on earth.

3. The financiers of Amnesty International are questionable individuals and organizations. The list include weapon manufacturers that are eager to have new wars and the resultant clients as well as opposition figures that are desperate to gain power through transition, interim or government of national unity as is the case of Atiku Abubakar and Omoyele Sowore in Nigeria.

4. There have been countries that successfully expelled Amnesty International from their jurisdiction in the past. The reason for the expulsions is no different from the crime Amnesty International has been committing in Nigeria. Morocco once expelled the organization while Israel has expelled its affiliates.
These for us are enough reasons not to have this monster in our country. Its output can only be pure evil and the longer it stays among us the more malevolent its evil will be.

Since we have passed the half mark in the deadline we gave Amnesty International to leave our country or be thrown out, we are directing our attention to the government because we believe it can send this organization out of Nigeria without waiting for us to unleash our own version of Day of Rage against the dubious organization. We are as a result using today’s protest to call on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do the needful now.

We have in the preceding three days defied the element – rain and the sun – to hold this protests against the evil taking up quarters in Nigeria. We are ready to sacrifice even more to defend the interest of Nigeria at all times and we will never stop to bring to the notice of authorities those that do not mean well for Nigeria.

Our law enforcement agencies must rise to the occasion. It is not enough to arrest insurrectionists, it is important to trace their connections to the other variables in the plot to destabilize Nigeria. They must therefore investigate financial and communications connections between the RevolutionNow leaders and Amnesty International with a view to prosecuting and jailing any of its staffers that are directly involved in the plot to overthrow the government. This should extend to investigating the funding of Amnesty International and how they spend their money to ascertain the various clandestine operations they run against the county..

We conclude our outing today by demanding that Mr. President appreciate the imperative of not sitting on the fence whilst corporate terrorists destroy the fabrics of our unity and peaceful co-existence. Amnesty International officials in Nigeria have an agenda to overthrow his democratically elected government in the country and it is a plot that is now at an advanced stage given the boldness with which its executioners now take to the streets to implement their plan.

All the recent activities of Amnesty International is to force the government into inaction so that the coup plotters can carry on undeterred. This has to stop.

Mr. President, you must expel Amnesty International NOW or we will be forced to turn our rage against the NGO.

Money hungry groups such as these are the worst enemies of Nigeria.

Day by day we continue to see semblance of buhari's government with that of Abacha.

Buhari once benefitted from human rights activism, prior to 2015 he involved in protest and even called for political revolution through his apc party yet no single teargas or gun shots were fired at him but today he chooses to expose the dictatorship and hypocrisy hidden in him.

Those who support this tyranny will receive the repercussions bountifully in their lives.

it's easy for people to talk

but these useless cso people should continue laying templates that will hunt thier children for ever.

just the Way Nigerians view abacha and his children. So many Apc party members parading as cso will be viewd as such.


hamman set the noose for mordecai but he was hanged on it.



let useless animals support the despot buhari. And collect 30k salary. while senator tinubu canvas slots for her love ones and leave them out.

no light
insecurity
poverty
nepotism
yet some idiots will support buhari

Everything bad has happened and is still happening in Nigeria..
Why can't this government face the truth for once and do what right, other than resorting to cheap blackmail..

If you are supportive of this administration can you please State 5 things this government is doing right..

Sincerely this government is worse than all the years of PDP combined...

Tell me the sector of the economy that is working..
Health? Education? Employment? Agriculture? Security?

Even the government does not know what is happening in Nigeria.. Oblivious of everything..

Nigerians make we reason ooo.. If we no get today with this government we go never get tomorrow oo..

It is never too hard to spot a sponsored protest just by mere seeing protesters.

Look at the protesters, do these ones look like people that know what amnesty international is? I doubt if many of them are even educated

Look at their dressing also, look like they are mostly from same tribe and religion.
