President Tinubu had a nationwide broadcast on Sunday, August 4 in the wake of the End Bad Governance in Nigeria protest. In his speech, the President called on protesters to call off their demonstrations and open room for dialogue.
While speaking at a PDP function in his state today August 7, Governor Bala said the Federal Government should stop giving excuses.
“I listened to Mr President’s speech with rapt attention and with all humility and courage that what he said was empty. He did not agree with the situation, He did not address the problems and challenges. The problems are not his alone but for all of us leaders from the presidency to the sub-national down to the local government.
We can see that the manifestations have different colourations. In the North, it is a very big wake-up call for us, to bring good governance and respect for people. There is anger and hunger, we have to address our problems of development.
The new policy thrust of the Federal Government is not working. They have to understand that and it is their problem and their program that has caused all these problems, so they have to change.
I have heard and with regrettable attention that some of the ministers of the Federal Government saying that we have been given 70 trucks and five hundred and something million, how much did the Federal Government make, and what did they do with it?”
