Why Is The Apc-led Government Always Against Protests? by Hadeylex(op): 7:38am On Jul 21, 2024
If protests are a constitutional right of Nigerians to drive home their grievances or react to negative policies of the government, then why is it that the APC-led government right from the time of Muhammadu Buhari till now ìs always against protests and subsequently clamps down on protesters as well as organisers of protests?

On many occasions, the government is known to sponsor thugs who infiltrate the protesters thereby causing mayhem and destruction of properties, just to create the impression that such protests are not peaceful or are highjacked by unscrupulous elements.

Since the news of the planned protests for August became public, the current leadership has been rattled. The question now is: shouldn't there be protests any more? Has protest been removed from the constitutional rights of Nigerians?

Protests without violence are allowed but not to disrupt the peace of the state. If they are against a policy, they should take it to the court.

because they believe any complain, suggestion, criticism, anything that is different from licking their àssess and praising them for stealing and doing next to nothing is an orchestration of opposition party...

They believe Nigeria is okay as it is......and that normal Nigerians can't be complaining or criticizing them.....

I pity those that will protest.... Not because I am against protest...but because it will all be for nothing... Nigerian government officials are cruel and have nothing to offer..in fact they will arrest or kill some protesters to make an example

The APC-led government prioritizes national stability and security over protests, believing that dialogue is more effective. It's essential to focus on constructive engagement rather than confrontation.

Because IPOB hijacked ENDSARS protest where Nnamidi kanu was ordering igbo to destroy Lagos.

A Yoruba adage roughly translated says, "A murderer will never allow anyone pass his back with a razor blade". A prostitute who stole another woman's husband will also be doubly wary of other women coming close to her man. APC know the game. They know how they deceived Nigerians to get into power. They know the format of citing discontent against the government. That's why they have been so aggressive with the 'Obidient movement'.

You're not smart

Protest held in Oyo state and few other SW states last year and there was no issue. Others deliberately stayed back mocking them

Protest is gonna hold in the North,Arewa already notified the police commission and there's never gonna be an issue


This time, the SW that protested lats year when others stayed back, said they aren't interested anymore


It's dumb to bring the protest to them when they neither take theirs to others nor did even the Northerns took theirs outside their region
