It Is Clear Tinubu Does Not Understand Our Demands – Bauchi #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Protesters

Isah Zaki said Tinubu’s broadcast failed to address the protesters’ agitations.

 
President Bola Tinubu has been slammed by a team leader of the Bauchi North zone #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest, Isah Zaki.
 
He expressed the team’s dissatisfaction with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Sunday nationwide broadcast.
 
The good governance activist who spoke to our correspondent on the development said Tinubu’s broadcast failed to address the protesters’ agitations.
 
He said, “The president’s broadcast has not captured or mentioned any solutions to the demands of the poor masses. The only reason we are considering the relaxation of the protest in Bauchi North follows hoodlum activities during the protest which have done more harm to our businessmen.

“The broadcast did not, of course, address our demands and that of poor masses, but we have decided to listen to Mr president considering the unfortunate activities of hoodlums in parts of the protest.

“Also, we may suspend the protest and give room for dialogue as the president requested because we have the knowledge that every battle always ends in meaningful dialogue.”
Zaki added “In the event where the dialogue did work, we all call on our national assembly representatives to do the needful.

“That is what they are voted for, to speak on our behalf. In the President’s speech, it is clear that he does not understand our demands. We may give a chance for dialogue as I said, but if he doesn’t do the need, our national representatives in both green and red chambers must do the needful.

“Tell him the truth about our situation, or recall them back to vote for those that are equal to the task,” Zaki insisted.
 
He reiterated that the protest relaxation in Bauchi North was not in compliance with the President’s request but for consideration of the trouble some individuals, especially business owners, were landed in by hoodlums.
