VIDEO: ‘Even esusu is affected’ — Odinkalu mobilises against ‘totalitarian’ NGO bill

Human rights lawyer and former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, has launched a video campaign against the NGO regulation bill about to be passed by the national assembly.

In the five-minute video, he outlines the implications of the proposed law for religious bodies, humanitarian agencies and even the esusu system in the village.

Odinkalu urges Nigerians to rise up and resist the bill by taking the campaign to their elected representatives.

The “totalitarian” bill is sponsored by Umar Buba Jibril, deputy majority leader of the house of representatives.
