A socio-political activist, Comrade Obiora Omeje has told security agencies to allow citizens' viewpoints over the 29th May transitional ceremony of the incoming administrations at all levels in Nigeria.
The activist was speaking at the heels of whether Enugu State governor-elect Peter Mbah would be inaugurated on May 29 in considering his pending case in the court.
Omeje however, declared that the inauguration of Barr Peter Mbah as the Governor of Enugu State remains sacrosanct.
He said whereas protest was a constitutional right of the citizens, it had nothing to do with the inauguration of the Governor-elect.
Omeje, an Advocate for good governance and member of the Abuja School of Socio-Political Thought said the swearing-in of the Governor-elect is constitutional.
“Protest is the fundamental right of Ndi Enugu; the right to protest is provided in the law; the people should be allowed to express themselves.
“However, such protest should not truncate the process; the courts are there for aggrieved politicians to vent their anger.
“Until a court of competent jurisdiction sets aside a declaration or decision of INEC, it stands,” Omeje asserted.
