Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has given an
update on the ongoing nationwide protest.
Ezekwesili said despite attempts by the Nigerian Government
to muzzle the protest, Nigerians are already winning.
She reminded the political class that no force on earth has
ever successfully oppressed a set of people permanently.
Posting on X, Ezekwesili wrote: “With The People of Nigeria.
“Is it not now evident that the Citizens of our country have
already won this?
“How else can one explain this massive counter-operation of
@NigeriaGov to muzzle Citizens and quell a protest that is themed
#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria ?
“Wisdom should have the Nigerian Political Class know that
historically, no force on earth has ever successfully oppressed a People
permanently.
“Bad Governance has factually oppressed and destroyed the
lives and future of Citizens.
“When the People then muster the courage to ask that you
stop it, listen! All these attempts to throw the kitchen sink at the people is
unwise. Tragically unwise.
“Two Wise Game-changing Moves that the @NGRPresident
@nassnigeria
@NGRSenate @HouseNGR, Governors and State Assemblies can
make out of the #EndBadGovernaceInNigeriaProtests
“Use it as the *Golden Moment of Opportunity* for a *Reset
of Nigeria* being offered by our Citizens! Launch a
* A Credible National Conversation on the most Effective
Structure and Direction for Good Governance in Nigeria at all Levels* for
productivity, competitiveness, prosperity, justice, equity, equality, order,
peace, harmony, stability and resilience.
“Come out to the Protest Grounds all over the Country and
ENGAGE your Citizens. Hear them express their Demands to you directly. Do not
lock yourselves away behind the High Gates of your publicly-funded State and
Government houses enjoying indulgent lives while your Citizens are crying out
in pain from the severity of economic hardship. Come out.
“Whether you do right or continue to do wrong by your people
is entirely your Choice, Nigerian Governments led by
@officialABAT.
“As for the Nigerian People, the die is now cast and the
rubicon is also now crossed on the matter of their knowledge of the supremacy
of their collective Power over that of the Politicians, their Governments and
the Bad Governance they give daily.
“It is easy to understand this. Between the People and their
Politicians, who is fretting with Fear over the Protests?
“Whatever will be your answer to that question is totally in
your hands.”
