A Civil Society Organization, Movement of the Transformation of Nigeria, MOTION, has said that the Nigerian people will not be intimidated by whatever stance Senate President Godswill Akpabio is taking.
Convener of the group, Hauwa Mustapha, said this on Monday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television.
She said the Senate must know that it is the people that matter most, stressing that the voices of the people must count.
She was reacting to the against Senate’s rejection of the real-time transmission of election results.
“It is high time those elected to the Senate understand that it is the people who matter most and our voices must count.
“We stand on our right to demand the electoral act amendment bill, and they don’t have the right to override our demand.
“For us, primarily, the objective is to categorically express our feelings, our disappointment, first of all, with the way the Senate appears to be toying with the fate and the interest of Nigerians, and we made our voices very clear and loud. And I think that’s the most important thing.
“And then we also saw that broadly, we had support of Nigerians from everywhere, those that were not able to come, we saw their solidarity on the social media. So, to that extent, it was quite successful,” she said.
