Abdul Mahmud Steps Down As A Trustee Of SIAF

iexclusive News Nigeria reports that Abdul Mahmud Nigerian lawyer, social critic, columnist, human rights advocate has stepped down as a trustee of SIAF

Abdul Mahmud via his micro blog Twitter said;

It is no more news that I have stepped down as a trustee of the Social Intervention Advocacy Foundation, SIAF. As indicated in the early hours of this morning, here is my statement:

Abdul Mahmud said a formal resignation was sent to Sega at the beginning of the third week of January

Sega replied that Distinguished you are going nowhere.

Following my appearances at the #Endsars judicial panels in the south east and south south, I did a quick review and thanked my colleagues @EphesisL who central to our work.

I tell my colleagues that I would review

My pro bono work and relationship with the #Endsars movement, considering the mistakes that were made during the struggle and personal politics that was clearly endangering the movement.

In October, at the height of the struggle, I did speak to Sega and expressed my reservations

About his unnecesary antagonism of other groups and personages involved in the struggle.

I advised that SIAF should as a group speak and act, not individuals.

We had an understanding, so it appeared. A few days latter, he made a remark that endangered all when

He called peaceful protesters insurrectionists. I spoke with him and asked him to withdraw that unfortunate label.

I then drew the line in the sand and moved on, while appealing to all to understand his politics.

Then, the vote of over the reopening of #Lekkigate happened

I don’t want to go over our private exchanges on what transpired.

I will let sleeping dogs lie.

Finally, I thank him for inviting me to have a seat on his table.

It is an honour I shall cherish for a long time.

However, I refuse to be drawn into the commercialism of activism

I find it more honourable to walk...
