Ovation Magazine publisher Dele Momodu says he was taken aback by President Bola Tinubu’s Sunday morning speech to the country.
Momodu claimed in a post on X that the President had neglected to respond to the demands of the nation’s protestors.
On Sunday, three days after the #EndBadGovernance In Nigeria protests began, Tinubu gave a speech to the people of Nigeria.
Reacting to Tinubu’s broadcast, Momodu said, “After the long-awaited speech of President Bola Tinubu eventually came this morning, I’m sure most of you would be as stupefied as me.
“I must confess that I had little hope of Tinubu granting some concessions to the aggrieved Nigerians. As a man who has held an iron grip on Lagos State for the last 25 years, it would be difficult for him to change a winning formula that has worked for him ever since.
“Also, what did we expect his advisers to be telling him when most of them have been his most fanatical cronies from Lagos who have learnt never to challenge the master?
“So it was merely wishful thinking on the part of incurable optimists like me to think he was going to have mercy on hapless and seemingly helpless Nigerians.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
