WHY IS THE PRESIDENT SILENT THIS LONG OVER THE TENSIONS IN THE COUNTRY?
- NIGERIAN YOUTHS SHOULD ALSO STOP THE PROTESTS AND GIVE ROOM FOR ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED
It is evidently that we do not have a committed President in Nigeria that is truly responsible to his statutory duties, and is really concerned about the welfare of the citizenry. With what has been happening across the country, with the bloodshed and destruction of properties; why is it taking President Muhammadu Buhari this long to address the protesting Nigerian youths and the entire nation?
What stopped President Muhammadu Buhari from speaking out when Nigerian youths were being slaughtered at Lekki toll gate? What stopped President Buhari from addressing the nation when police stations are being burnt and police officers mobbed to death? What stopped President Buhari, from speaking out when public infrastructure are burnt and vandalised? What then is the essence of having a Commander-In-Chief as a sitting President, when the entire nation was practically thrown into chaos and apprehension? It is really sad!
For the protesting Nigerian youths, I say it is enough! It is enough with the protests since many youths and police officers have been killed, and public infrastructure burnt and vandalised. Enough of the protests! The burning of police stations and mobbing of the police officers are no solutions to the problems they are seeking to be addressed. The Nigerian youths should give some time for the politicians in power to address all these demands.
We all know that the old generation of politicians have goofed badly for years and still counting, but they still need time to address all of the issues raised, which of course will not be taken care of in one day.
In my opinion, the older generation of politicians have learnt a bitter lesson with their bad governance. As for those praising Dino Melayo as a man who saw tomorrow, they should also remember that it is the same Dino who is in the habit of showing off his luxurious lifestyle, fleet of exotic cars and mansions; in the face of apparent poverty stricken Nigerians who his likes are supposed to be accountable to. Also, Dino is one of the politicians that joined to ruin the economy with their reckless salaries, allowances and unaccounted constituency projects when his constituency people in Kogi are living in abject poverty. So, he deserves no praise. Dino Melaye must have said this to mislead the public in the floor of the senate because he knows that what they are doing is wrong. But they are evidently not ready to change and make sacrifices for the people.
As for Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, President Muhammadu Buhari and others, they have a lot to learn from these EndSARS protesters. But as for the youths burning public infrastructure, they should stop it because it is bad. Most of the things burnt in Lagos State are the property of the public. I don't think Tinubu and his children will enter the buses they burnt for instance. The TVC television station burnt, though owned by Tinubu, are still places where the ordinary man is working to earn a living. The banks burnt are public property since the public use them and the ordinary people work in them.
Including the NPA buildings that were burnt. They are all public property where the ordinary man make a living. If the Nigerian youths are jobless, and they resort to burning of places where the ordinary persons work, it means they are unknowingly causing more harm economically to themselves.
For a country to move forward, there must be law and order. And without the police, there can't be law and order. No foreign and local investor will want to Invest in a hostile country. Hence, I beg the Nigerian youths to give some time to the politicians in government to address their demands. Two wrongs can't make a right. Agreed the old generation of politicians have failed, and the government of the day has failed woefully too, but the anger should be controlled to give room for a PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS that will address the issues raised, and bring sustainable peace and development in Nigeria. Burning of Shoprite complexes in Nigeria is not a solution. These are poor Nigerians working in these places. Let us not use our own hands to further destroy the already ailing Nigerian economy.
