Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has said only
the Nigerian government and its supporters can turn the EndBadGovernance
protest into a “bloody affair.”
Ezekwesili urged the Nigerian and the state governments to
see the protest as an opportunity for deep introspection.
Posting on X, the former Minister called on the government
to ensure the full protection of protesters expressing their grievances.
According to Ezekwesili: “As we can all already see, the
only group that will turn the #EndBadGovernaceProtest into the ‘bloody affair’
that @NigeriaGov propagandists are predicting and prophesying is the Government
and its supporters.
“The People are simply saying ‘We are Hungry and therefore
Angry’. We want you to know this and ACT correctly to solve our problems.
“Simple. Again, I ask the Governments @NigeriaGov, State
Governments and Governors, the Lawmakers, @nassnigeria
and State Assemblies to make this nationwide expression of
dissatisfaction and disapproval of Citizens their opportunity for Deep
Introspection.
“Consider your ways. Produce convincing evidence-backed
Responses and Plans of Action to Citizens’ Demands.
“@NGRPresident has a Duty to ensure full protection of
Citizens who wish to exercise their constitutional right to protest
#BadGovernance across the country.
“@PoliceNG must do EVERYTHING right by the People.
“We must remind the @HQNigerianArmy that they cannot in any
guise abuse the rights of Citizens. Nigerian Citizens will win. Ultimately.”
