The group, at a news conference in Abuja yesterday, described Damagum’s endorsement of the protest as “shocking” and “inciting,” and accused him of working to destabilise Nigeria.
The group called on the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Department of State Services (DSS) to immediately set up an inquiry into the activities of Damagum and his alleged links to the planned protests.
Led by Adamu Kabir Matazu, the group argued that the PDP, under Damagum’s leadership, was responsible for the current economic crisis facing Nigeria, having laid the foundation during their 16-year rule.
They also accused Damagum of ignoring the terrorism and foreign interest links of some of the protest organisers.
“We wish to remind Damagum and those for whom he runs errands that the log is in their eyes. They should first look at what they contributed to the cost of living and economic crisis facing Nigeria today,” the statement said.
