‘Tinubu Brought Destruction To Nigeria’- Fearless Sowore Drops Bombshell After Dozens Nigerians Died In Tragic Stampede
Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has accused President Bola Tinubu of bringing widespread suffering to Nigerians since he took office in May 2023. His statements came in response to a series of tragic stampede incidents that resulted in the deaths of over 100 individuals across the country, particularly in Ibadan, Okija, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
On Saturday, a tragic stampede during a rice distribution event in Okija, Anambra State, reportedly claimed the lives of at least 20 residents. This unfortunate event was part of a broader pattern of chaos, as similar incidents were reported at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Maitama area of Abuja earlier the same day, leading to an unidentified number of casualties.
Sowore’ s comments on social media platform X highlighted the urgency and severity of the situation, warning that Nigeria finds itself in a perilous state under the current administration. He expressed his alarm at the rising desperation among citizens, attributing these tragedies to the severe economic hardships faced by the nation. In his post, he stated, ” Not less than 100 Nigerians have perished in less than a week in Ibadan (Oyo), Okija (Anambra), and Abuja (FCT) just in search of rice. ”
He continued by emphasizing the dire implications of the ongoing crisis: ” This speaks precisely to the debilitating economic destruction wrought on Nigerians by the @officialABAT regime since his unfortunate ascension to power in May 2023. ” Sowore’ s bleak assessment underscores a growing concern that the current economic policies are pushing ordinary Nigerians to the brink of despair, leading to life- threatening situations.
As these incidents unfold, they paint a grim picture of the country’ s socio- economic landscape, where hunger has become a severe crisis. Sowore’ s use of the term ” hunger- suicide” reflects a profound concern that the desperation for basic necessities has reached alarming levels. He argues that the tragic loss of life, seemingly unnecessary and preventable, highlights the urgent need for substantive changes in governance and policy to address the underlying causes of poverty and suffering.
As the nation grapples with these challenges, the calls for change resonate with a populace increasingly aware of the dire implications of inaction. The tragic events of the weekend serve not only as a wake- up call but also as a stark reminder of the fragility of life in the face of systemic neglect and economic turmoil.
