It was exactly seven years on May 29, since the prominent civil society leaders, Professor Abubakar Momoh passed away. Coincidentally,
the date tallies with the one-year anniversary of the current administration.
Professor Momoh’s dedication to CHRICED went beyond mere involvement; he served as its pioneering board chairman and remained a steadfast member of its board of directors. His commitment to the organization was unparalleled, as he made numerous sacrifices, even at a personal level, to ensure CHRICED’s growth and autonomy.
“Sadly, the leaders entrusted with addressing these pressing issues have veered off course, treating politics as a profitable venture rather than a service to the people. Instead of prioritising the welfare of the nation, they appear more focused on accumulating wealth and securing the futures of their families, associates, and cronies. This breach of trust only worsens the suffering of the people, leaving them disillusioned and disheartened.
“As Nigerians cling to hope for relief from the profound hardships they endure, promises from the present administration ring hollow amidst concerning priorities. While citizens yearn for respite, the government allocates a staggering N900b towards subsidising Pilgrimage, an expenditure viewed by many as misplaced given the pressing needs of the populace. The Islamic pilgrimage is a requirement for those who can afford it, as outlined in the Holy book,” he said.
The Executive Director noted that Nigeria is in dire need of men and women who embody the spirit of patriotism like the late Prof. Momoh, who was not afraid to demand accountability from the government in a straightforward manner.
