At the 16th edition of the Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe lecture held in Ikeja, with the Deputy Governor of Lagos and other top government officials in attendance, Boris Johnson indirectly added his voice to the call for a New Nigeria by Obidients
He said, "Britain once had issues with terrorism but today the Metropolitan Police is so impartial that they once arrested Prince Andrew, the son of the late Queen..."
Nigeria today is a country where the son of a politician can be recorded live on camera killing someone and he will never be arrested by the police.
We live in a country where politicians can go with police officers to polling units to snatch ballot boxes.

These are the very things the Obidient movement is trying to end.

In his speech, Boris Johnson also made mention of the fact that in a democracy, the people have the right to vote who they want and vote them out if they are not happy with their performance.
This is speaking directly at the just-ended Lagos elections where people were prevented

It is clear that the world knows what Tinubu and the APC has been up to in Nigeria, and for a former British Prime Minister to make such statements in a government gathering, then it means

things have gotten so bad that even they can no longer ignore.
It is time we turn up the heat on Tinubu and the APC on the international stage, just like we did with the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
And tomorrow, I will release a thread showing you how we can mount

And tomorrow, I will release a thread showing you how we can mount
International pressure on the APC, and force the Supreme Court to do the right thing by canceling the Presidential elections and restoring our mandate as a people.
Here's a link to the full speech. I am not interested in propaganda, so I have nothing to twist or hide.
