Tinubu not in touch with what’s happening in Nigeria – Obedient elders



The Delta Obedient Elders’ Council has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s recent speech to Nigerians, suggesting that it demonstrates a disconnection from the country’s current realities.

 

In a statement released on Wednesday, Chairman Chris Biose and Secretary Solomon Akeni responded to the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests across the country.

 

The council expressed disappointment that the President’s address failed to address key issues affecting the masses.

 

The statement urged President Tinubu to move beyond grandstanding and tackle the pressing issues facing the country.

 

It also lamented the violence, looting, and destruction of public facilities that have marred some of the protests.

 

“The President acknowledged the severe suffering of the masses but failed to present any fresh policy measures to address the demands of the protesters,” the statement read.

 

The council expressed shock at President Tinubu’s omission of crucial issues, including the widespread killings of farmers by armed Fulani herdsmen, which has severely impacted food production in the country.

 

“It is unreasonable to believe that he does not know that this phenomenon is at the root of the inability of Nigerian farmers to produce sufficient food for local consumption in the past few years,” the statement continued.

 

The council also criticized the administration for perceived lack of accountability and excessive expenditure on frivolous items while the majority of Nigerians are suffering from intense hunger. Additionally, they noted the president’s silence on issues such as oil theft and the brutal killings of Nigerian citizens by police officers.

 

The Delta Obedient Elders’ Council called for a more responsive and accountable approach from the President to address the country’s pressing issues.
