In a video posted on her Instagram page on Tuesday, July 30, Nkechi appealed to the President to share his plans to reduce the cost of living in Nigeria.
The actress said if the President does not want the protest to hold, he needs to publicly address Nigerians, reassuring citizens of his plans to end the “sufferings in the land.”
“This message is for his excellency, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. All protocols duly observed. Sir, I understand you do not want a protest in Nigeria, but all you need to do as our President is to come on national TV and address us and tell us the measures you are taking to restore food prices to normal.
A lot of people are complaining. There is hunger in the land, and as a president to his citizens, we need to hear from you so that everyone can calm down. The sole reason for this protest is for people to voice their complaints and find solutions.
It is a good thing that the government is seeing the plan for the protest because the main reason is to talk about how tired we are about things going haywire.
So what are the plans you people are putting in place to listen to our plea? Because it’s now affecting the rich and the poor. I am not even in the rich category anymore, I’m now one of the poor masses.
Pls sir, instead of trying to sabotage what they are trying to do, you have seen the reason for the the protest. What are the measures you are taking to provide a solution that is the question now.
With all due respect sir, I’m not trying to be disrespectful but what are the measures? Come to us, tell us. Talk to us like your children.”
