Civil society organisations (CSOs) based in Abuja and concerned Nigerians in conjunction with over 40 civil society groups nationwide have concluded arrangements to lead a solidarity visit to Amnesty International Nigeria to show support for their activities which they believe has helped to put the excesses and arbitrariness of State agents in check as it is in developed democracies all over the world.
The solidarity visit will hold today, Wednesday 29th of March, 2017, will take the form of a march from the Unity Fountain opposite Transcorp Hilton Hotel to the Amnesty International Office in Maitama, Abuja, at 9am.
According to one of the conveners, Ariyo-Dare Atoye of the Coalition for the Defence of Nigerian Democracy and Constitution (CDNDC), the action becomes necessary following the protests against Amnesty International last week and the wicked siege laid against its office for days as sponsored by fifth columnists.
“This has earned our nation bad reputation globally. We can no longer sit by and watch while paid protesters attempt to rubbish the correct reports and good works of AI on the appalling human rights record of this administration thereby promoting and defending such records in the process.
“The participation of men and women of goodwill from all over the country in this solidarity rally would be highly appreciated. Together, we can rescue our nation,” Atoye stated.
