Concerned Nigerians for the protection of Human Rights and Rule of Law Initiative has condemned petitions by supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate to ban dissenting voices.

The group, in a statement by its spokesperson, Theophilus Agada, berated the supporters of Obi for calling on social media platforms to ban Reno Omokri, Omoyele Sowore, Deji Adeyanju, Sega Awosanya and other opposition voices in the country.

The statement reads partly, “It is the duty of big tech companies to moderate content that could lead to violence or illegal activity and not individuals writing petitions against opposition voices they consider as threats to their political agenda.

“The attempt by Peter Obi’s supporters to stifle free speech is anti-democratic and should be condemned by all and sundry.

“Free speech is one of the building blocks of every democratic society and as a group, we call on Obi’s supporters to stop threatening people who are indifferent about the candidacy of Mr. Peter Obi,” it said.

The group maintained that the Nigerian Constitution protects the right to free speech and freedom of association.

The statement further reads, “Incidental to these constitutional guaranteed rights is the right to support or oppose a candidate in any election.

“To hold otherwise, as Peter Obi supporters seek to do, will only take us back to the dark days of military regimes where free speech was criminalised and freedom of assocation was subject to the whims and caprice of the military dictator.

“May that day never return where dissenting voices will be deplatformed simply for having dissenting opinions,” it said.




The group, however, called on those inciting violence and pushing ethnic and religious agenda to desist forthwith.




The spokesman also reminded Obi’s supporters that the UN Resolution on Human Rights frowns at persons or governments who interfere with the right of individuals to seek, receive and impart information through any means of communication and digital technologies, through measures such as the removal, blocking or filtering of content, unless such interference is justifiable and compatible with international human rights law and standards.

Ipob is as confused as azikiwe.

We will soon give them free speech. It shall never be well with tinubu urchins and atiku dogs, they shall seek and never find.

Tinubu is a demented thief and liar , atiku must be a gay...... is this the sample of free speech you want us to promulgate on the social space ? Unfounded statements aimed at denigration of person ? .

Anyway how do you like my own free speech. Oya talk your own. We are all mad for Nigeria

You call them dissenting voices. How convenient for you to tag people calling for anarchy "dissenting voices". You're not serious.

All these cassava-eating corruption-ridden neanderthals. No disrespect to honest neanderthals.

How come a terrorist group that still prefer to remain as enemy of the zoo, yet want to pick the president for the zoo.

Ipob are dullard.
Obviously they have no place in democracy.
Their place is terrorism.

They IPOB orientation has damaged the average psych of an igboman living in the east

To them is all about dictatorship.. reason why listen to Kanu and Ekpa

The think strength and violence first before using their brain.. to them is all about attack abuse and curse

Time will come when they will threaten their fellow igbos on top obi and even cut heads to put fear into dissenting voice ..

You heard it here .. yet the abuse bandit and boko .. while their own go worst..

Ever wonder why state house members are being decapitated in Obi anambra

They simply don’t align with IPOB view

Now IPOB has gone full sponsoring Obi .. heads go roll

But we wait them...

Obi and his urchins poll unit will be cancel for violence and death

Power to the peoppe
Atiku Okowa sure

North 2023

They feel cheated ni..


They tried secession but prove abortive .so in all earnestness ,they want the power to cum to South East so that it would bring them closer to the association of Nigerians..


But unfortunately for them,

The way they see Nigerian politics now, wasn't their initial thought.

They issue useless threat online .. with empty belly

Walahi im saying it loud

Obi go lose Anambra with musCle

Not permutations ... e sure die

Make he go Benue and Jos go win state... igboland he ain’t getting nothing .. talk more of mbamiri..

E go clear

Twitter go vote

All Ipob terrorists deserve to dIE by hanging
You surely didn't tag the toxic statements from kanu an act of Anarchy.
All ipob terrorists are brain dead retards I swear

They are bunch of mad people from Upper Iweka. Wonder why Obi consults mad people.
-Okoro bufo

Obi inherited the IPOB structure from the incacerated Supreme leader of ipob NnamdI kanu.. Look at the mode of operation between the outlawed Ipob terrorists and Peter obi supporters, very Similar

Who were the people insulting, abusing, and threatening other Nigerians before Peter Obi? Think! You know. Are you still seeing them? No. There is a reason why. They just changed their name from what you once knew, to Obidients. They changed name, but not behaviour

Look at their strategy. Propaganda, insults, abuses and threats. They have always had a well oiled social media propaganda unit. They are organised cyber bullies. They criticise others, but don’t want to be criticised. They are worse than Buhari and his Buharists
This is who they are! This is what they wish for Nigeria. They are violent. They are part of an organisation supporting violence. They brought their violent behaviour to Peter Obi and became his Obidients.

If delegates can be paid 100m for parties primaries, then it's not difficult to recruit mischievous people with agbado and some coins to spread propaganda and tribalism online. Just imagine giving power to these kind of misfits who dwell in bigotry to pilot the affairs of a country with progressive minds.

They are animal, real ewu Gambian anukpma cursed set of people.

If its only the useless Obi left to win the election apc or pdp should *rig* the election nada wont happen highest usual wailling biafra shit or nothing. Ipigs are nuisance, obi and his supporters are nuisance that is why they don't knw where they belong in human history.

Extremely lousy, extremely foul mouthed, extremely arrogant, extremely hateful, extremely tribalist and extremely useless chest beaters.

Let see how their Pandora thief wi become the president. By February I had volunteer to lead a very serious campaign against Obi he is my kinsmen but I don't want him, he is a creepy, greedy and stingy mofo.

He will never rule this country. They now listed all Yorubas and SS to be ban on social media and yet want SW/SS votes it won't happen NEVER!!!

Lagos he can never win, Kano he can never win, Kaduna with Hell Rufai he can never win, Ibadan infact entire SW he can never win a single state, with Wike in River he can never Win, Atiku state up North he can never win, Anambra he can never win, imo he can never win the list is endless obi is a motherfucker joker.

They are shouting Nigeria youth yet want to silent same youths to have their way. Amadioha strike you all.

You want a win but you are threatening people's life baa? O ya come take the win make we see.

You are as usselesssssss as p in psychology.

omenka:

all of a sudden Nigeria will need a man like Tinubu to fix Buhari's mess.
all of a sudden after 7 years they've now realised that Buhari's government is now a failure since campaigning for continuity of their party's failure means mocking Nigeria.
all of a sudden buhari is no longer the best thing to happen to Nigeria after cat fish pepper soup.
all of a sudden they're now Buhari's critics just to project and tested failure within the same party.
because how will they explain to Nigerians that their party is the cause of their problems.
how can they explain to Nigerian youths sitting at home that their party is the reason they're rotting at home when they're supposed to be in the school.
how will they explain to Nigerians that their party is the cause of ravaging insecurities we found ourselves today and that their presidential candidate will be recruiting 50 million youths into the army to feed them agbado and cassava.
how can they explain to Nigerians that their party has failed them in every aspects.

of course they have no explanation for all these hence their only hope is to go tribal and play their usual old tribalism and tribal card tactics.
but you as a citizen of this country ask yourself this question.
will tribalism better our economy to at least prior to 2015?
will tribalism end insecurity and make everyone safe?
will tribalism send our children back to school and equip our schools.
will tribalism make life better for an average citizen?

so after pushing for a failure to be President what next?
when the suffering comes will it select other tribe and leave yours?
today all Nigerians are suffering but Buhari got the highest votes from the North.

dear fellow citizens it's time to look into these people's eyes and tell them to go to hell with their division tactics.
at a point all major tribes never believed in Nigeria but today they made it look like they love Nigeria most but keep presenting bad leaders ruining this country.
it's time to say enough is enough.

THE YOUTHS ARE COMING!

they have a plan,Obi have an evil agenda toward Nigeria.
How can people that says"biafra or death, no lefeledum no erection" will just turned to born again Nigerians. Something is really smelling.

That useless Human rights organizations will not say anything,but they will rather be calling international community to come and rescue kanu the terrorist.

the group is as confused as azikiwe

They have an evil plan.
They don't care about governorship and other election in their state.
That's strange.
We in kwara we did otoge.

Lol nothing is smelling. They believe Obi will do well in unifying the country as a proven administrator. There are two things driving the Biafra agitation. One is lack of progress and backwardness in Nigeria and secondly is the rumour that Fulanis is about to forcefully islamize them through the help of APC government which I still think today is still a rumour. But no easterner will believe it's a mere rumour!
