He called on security agencies to act fast as Nigerians would hold it responsible should there be a resurgence of violent and criminal activities in the country. Shuaibu speaking at the AI's Abuja office said: "We are gathered here in accordance with this mandate to protect the interest of Nigeria against those individuals and organizations that are conspiring to truncate our nascent democracy and ultimately set Nigeria on the path of disintegration."

"We boldly wish to state that Amnesty International (AI) and its operations in Nigeria have indeed been a source of concerned for most Nigerians in the sense that they have constituted themselves as clogs in the wheels of progress in Nigeria through their often unsubstantiated reports and releases tuned to set Nigeria on the path of disintegration," Shuaibu continued. "That Amnesty International has continued to remain in Nigeria is a great disservice to us as a people and as a country due to the multiple pieces of evidence that indicate that it is indeed working for vested interest and, as such, lost its credibility in all ramifications," he said. Also, in a tweet, the international organisation, in reaction to the protest at its Abuja office said the protesters arrived at the premises in large buses from the outskirts of Abuja.
