Name NGOs You Accused of Working To Destabilise Nigeria - CSOs Tell Lai | Daily Report Nigeria
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed
SHARE

Some civil society organisations (CSOs) have asked minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, to name non-governmental organisation (NGOs) he accused of working to destabilise Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Thursday and signed, the four CSOs cited a comment attributed to Mohammed in February, in which the minister accused some NGOs of colluding with foreigners against Nigeria.

The minister was speaking on the reactions to the seven-month Twitter ban that was lifted in January.

The CSOs described the allegation as a “reckless attempt to incite Nigerians against NGOs and undermine their credibility”.

The statement reads: “We wish to state that the opposite is actually true – it is Nigerian NGOs that are striving to save Nigeria from being destabilised in the face of relentless efforts by Mr Mohammed and others like him in the government who are afraid of freedom of expression and other fundamental rights that should be enjoyed by all citizens of a democratic country,”

“Mr. Mohammed apparently believes that being a Minister gives him the authority to be the accuser, judge and jury and that anyone who disagrees with him or criticises him, or the government he serves, is an enemy of the state.

“He could not be more wrong! In a constitutional democracy, citizens have a right and indeed a responsibility, either individually or in groups, to criticise their government and to insist that the government respects their fundamental rights and freedoms, within the laws of the land.

“We remain convinced that the Government’s action was illegal and unwarranted. It was further evidence of the commitment of President Buhari’s administration to close civic spaces and clamp down on the rights of citizens.”

They challenged the minister to release the list of the NGOs he accused of working to destabilise Nigeria and “proceed to prosecute them in accordance with Nigeria’s laws”.

The statement was signed by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), Enough is Enough (EiE) Nigeria, Media Rights Agenda (MRA) and Paradigm Initiative (PIN).
