We are not against protest, but negative impacts – Otu
Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State has explained that his Administration is not against the proposed peaceful protest, but is afraid of the negative impacts that may come with the protest.
He said that the Government was afraid of mercenaries who might storm the State and its capital, Calabar through the creeks to destroy key infrastructural facilities just like they did during the 2020 #EndSARS where property worth millions of naira was looted and vandalized.
Governor Otu made the remarks during an interactive session with Entertainment Stakeholders which took place Monday in Calabar, saying that as a Nigerian, he is afraid of what is likely to befall the State as he is aware of plans by strangers and unscrupulous elements who had hatched plans to unleash terror on the State.
