A human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong , has described President Bola Tinubu 's Sunday broadcast to Nigerians as “a pack of empty words and a time-wasting load of irrelevancies.” Effiong said the president's speech is a confirmation of his long held view that Nigerians are dealing with 'a fatalistic political class that is intentionally deaf and willfully blind to the sufferings and yearnings of the citizens.
The speech couldn’t have been more meaningless and aimless. 'Those who wrote it, and Mr. Tinubu, who read it out, have succeeded in justifying the reasons for the nationwide protest. 'It is appalling that despite what we have witnessed across the country in the last three days, the President did not deem it necessary to speak to the specific demands of the protesters. 'A government is only useful if it serves the interests of the governed. This government is anti-people.
