“On 20 October 2020, Nigeria lost many of her children to the wickedness of the APC administrative system, and today is 1 August 2024. We don’t know how many have been hurt. We don’t know who’s been affected. We don’t know anything. We know that, for the first time, there is a new kind of protest—one to stop another protest. The government is funding a protest to prevent a protest, which is ridiculous.
“They can’t reason; they sit down and claim that someone is funding the protesters. Yet they were the first funders, financing a group of people to say no to protests. This country is insane. By this time, shouldn’t the president address the citizens? And if he doesn’t want to, that’s fine. Can’t someone who knows how to communicate—rather than someone who wants to show off—address the nation? Is there no one in this administration who can tackle these issues? It’s a hopeless situation.
Mr Asiegbu pointed out that it is unnecessary to downplay the president’s efforts after a year in office. He mentioned that if incentives or palliatives are already distributed through state governments, they should be disbursed promptly to alleviate the burden on Nigerians.
