EXPOSED! ! Tinubu Allegedly Ordered Police, Soldiers To Shoot, Kill #EndBadGovt Protesters— Buhari’s Minister
Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, who served under former President Muhammadu Buhari, has criticized President Bola Tinubu’ s recent national broadcast that called for the suspension of the ongoing nationwide hunger protest. Dalung, who led an anti- government protest in Jos, Plateau State, last Thursday, also participated in an open- air Sunday church service held by the protesters in Jos.
According to Naija News, the church service, which took place at the Old Airport Roundabout, attracted a large crowd that included both Christian and Muslim leaders. Protesters carrying Nigerian flags blocked the roundabout, forcing motorists to find alternative routes through the city. Many attendees emphasized the importance of the church service, expressing hope that divine intervention could improve Nigeria’ s dire situation and benefit its struggling citizens.
In a statement to journalists, Dalung criticized Tinubu’ s broadcast as empty rhetoric, suggesting that the President was merely addressing himself and his cabinet rather than the Nigerian people. Dalung asserted that Tinubu failed to resonate with the protesters, instead choosing to threaten them and instruct security agencies to continue their crackdown, which has included shooting and killing demonstrators.
Dalung’ s participation in the protests and his public criticism of Tinubu underscore the growing dissatisfaction with the current administration. The protests, which have been fueled by widespread hunger, economic hardship, and poor governance, reflect a deep- seated frustration among Nigerians who feel their grievances are not being addressed.
At the church service, Dalung joined other protesters in prayers for the nation, urging for peace and divine intervention to bring about the much- needed change in Nigeria. The gathering highlighted the unity among citizens of different faiths, coming together to seek solutions to their shared challenges.
The ongoing protests have garnered significant attention, with civil society organizations and various leaders voicing their support for the demonstrators’ demands. The call for better governance, improved economic conditions, and an end to the violence against protesters has resonated across the country.
Critics of Tinubu’ s administration argue that the government’ s response to the protests has been inadequate and heavy- handed. The use of force against peaceful demonstrators has drawn condemnation from both local and international human rights organizations. There is a growing call for the government to engage in meaningful dialogue with the protesters and address their concerns in a constructive manner.
Dalung’ s comments reflect a broader sentiment among Nigerians who are disillusioned with the current state of affairs. Many feel that the government’ s policies have exacerbated the economic crisis, leading to increased poverty and hardship. The protests, which have been largely peaceful, are a manifestation of the public’ s desire for accountability and change.
In his address to the protesters, Dalung emphasized the importance of perseverance and unity. He urged the demonstrators to remain peaceful and focused on their goals, despite the challenges they face. Dalung’ s leadership in the protests has brought renewed attention to the issues at hand and galvanized support from various sectors of society.
As the protests continue, the pressure on President Tinubu and his administration is likely to intensify. The government’ s response to the growing unrest will be crucial in determining the future direction of the country. Many believe that only through genuine engagement and reform can Nigeria begin to address the root causes of the current crisis and pave the way for a more prosperous and just society.
The protests have also sparked a broader conversation about the role of leadership in addressing the needs of the people. Dalung’ s involvement has highlighted the need for leaders who are willing to listen to and act on the concerns of their constituents. The coming days will be critical in shaping the outcome of the protests and the response of the government.
