He claimed that Buhari is a democrat and that former President Olusegun Obasanjo would not allow Nigerians the same freedom as they have now.

“There must be a limit to politicking. If a government has done well, if a president has done well; you should give him in the areas of doing well, accolades there. Areas he has not done well, point them out and discuss,” Ngige said.

“This president is a democrat, and he is so afraid of breaching the constitution or any law; he is so afraid of it. I’m even stronger than him in terms of that.

“In what country? Even President Obasanjo, can he give you people this latitude? He will not. I know him. My dad or my grand dad Obasanjo or senior uncle, he will not grant you people that.

“This president is now a willing horse and you people want to ride him to death.”

The government’s suspension of Twitter has been criticized as “undemocratic” and an attempt to curb free speech.Twitter was banned after it removed a controversial message from Buhari, despite the government’s claim that the platform “threatens Nigeria’s survival.”
