How Nigerian Govt Allegedly Hired Foreigners To Stage Anti-Self Determination Protest In US - Akintoye Reveals

An unnamed top government officials from Kwara State and a popular journalist were accused of allegedly paying $500 to black foreigners to stage counter protest against Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS).

Recall that Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS), under the leadership of Prof Akintoye had staged a "Million-Man Freedom MarchÔÇØ on 14th and 15th of September opposite the United Nations Headquarters.

The grand finale of the NINAS Million-Man Freedom March holds on Friday September 24, the day President Muhammad Buhari will be addressing the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

NINAS is the umbrella body for self-determination Groups in the South and Middle-Belt of Nigeria with Ilana Omo Oodua representing the Yoruba Land, Lower Niger Congress representing the South South and South East and Middle-Belt Renaissance Movement representing the Middle Belt Region.

The group has been describing the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as a fraud against the people of South and Middle-Belt, saying,"it was enacted without the consent of the peopleÔÇØ.

NINAS is also demanding from the United Nations to declare Miyetti Allah as a Terrorist Organisation, alleging that it has openly taken responsibility for series of genocide in the South and Middle-Belt regions.

Prof Akintoye in a statement made available to DAILY POST by NINAS's Director of Public Communications, Maxwell Adeleye, said the will of the people shall prevail no matter how the Nigerian Government try to scuttle the Grand March.

He accused a top Nigerian government official and a popular Lagos journalist of currently hiring foreigners to masquerade as Pro-One Nigeria Protesters to counter NINAS in New York on Friday.

"The Friday Grand March in New York shall be historic, hence, the Nigerian government is jittery. The Ring Leader of Government Officials from Kwara State and a top Lagos Journalist are now in New York to start hiring black people who will pretend as Nigerians to stage a Pro-Buhari and One Nigeria Protest to counter NINAS on Friday.

"But we refuse to be rattled. We shall not be intimidated. No Oppressor has ever triumphed against the collective will of the people. The people are the government and power belongs to the people. The people make the constitution. The sovereignty belongs to the people. Our own strength lies in the hands of the people. Therefore, Our march shall be people's centered. It shall be peaceful as usual,ÔÇØ he said.
