An elder statesman, Chief Bode George has advised President Bola Tinubu to listen to the cries of majority of Nigerians before it’s too late.
He said, “We are talking that there is abject poverty in the land. There is hunger in the land. There is anger in the land.
“Look at the stampede. If those guys were okay, would they go out looking for a pittance to eat and die because of it?
“I am surprised that there is no iota of calmness, soberness of in-depth humanity in the discussion. He was saying that there was no need to revisit.”
George asked why the president was expecting Nigerians to bear with the situation his administration has plunged them into when those around him are behaving as if all is well.
“Is everybody surrounding you bearing it? Why should we bear it? It is completely outrageous. It is not a good way to start a year.
“I want to advise Bola Tinubu that leadership is not by pumping and bashing people. It is not a military administration.
“You and Buhari said that the people supported you. Is that how you pay them back? You say yes you won’t go back, you won’t do this. Which kind of political administration will do that? Listen to the people.”
