The pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu to stop apportioning blames following the protest against his administration.
Afenifere said Tinubu called for a revolution against former
President Goodluck Jonathan, hence should not apportion blame now.
Prince Justice Fakiyesi, National Publicity Secretary of
Afenifere loyal to the Acting Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said the president’s
speech did not address the real issues of the nationwide hunger.
Fakiyesi noted that it was disingenuous for Tinubu to claim
that the nationwide protest was politically motivated when he did same under
Jonathan.
Addressing newsmen on Monday, he said: “It is the same thing
that happened under former President Goodluck Jonathan and he (Tinubu) called
for a revolution or protest and when he is facing the same thing and even
worse, he is blaming other people.
“We never believed that just calling for dialogue would
change anything. He has never changed.
“I think he was pushed to read the speech because it was not
a matter of dialogue or him addressing people about the exact policy that
brought hunger and since he is not willing to reverse or accept responsibility,
because he more or less said it was politically motivated.
“When he started, and he specifically said that subsidy is
dead, he said you can protest as much as you like. He said that. He knew that
his policies were going to bring protest. At his age he knows that there have
been all sorts of protests against subsidy removal.”
