Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has given an update on the ongoing nationwide protest.
Ezekwesili said despite attempts by the Nigerian Government to muzzle the protest, Nigerians are already winning.
She reminded the political class that no force on earth has ever successfully oppressed a set of people permanently.
Posting on X, Ezekwesili wrote: “With The People of Nigeria.
“Is it not now evident that the Citizens of our country have already won this?
“How else can one explain this massive counter-operation of @NigeriaGov to muzzle Citizens and quell a protest that is themed #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria ?
“Wisdom should have the Nigerian Political Class know that historically, no force on earth has ever successfully oppressed a People permanently.
“Bad Governance has factually oppressed and destroyed the lives and future of Citizens.
“When the People then muster the courage to ask that you stop it, listen! All these attempts to throw the kitchen sink at the people is unwise. Tragically unwise.
“Two Wise Game-changing Moves that the @NGRPresident @nassnigeria
@NGRSenate @HouseNGR, Governors and State Assemblies can make out of the #EndBadGovernaceInNigeriaProtests
“Use it as the *Golden Moment of Opportunity* for a *Reset of Nigeria* being offered by our Citizens! Launch a
<span;>* A Credible National Conversation on the most Effective Structure and Direction for Good Governance in Nigeria at all Levels* for productivity, competitiveness, prosperity, justice, equity, equality, order, peace, harmony, stability and resilience.
“Come out to the Protest Grounds all over the Country and ENGAGE your Citizens. Hear them express their Demands to you directly. Do not lock yourselves away behind the High Gates of your publicly-funded State and Government houses enjoying indulgent lives while your Citizens are crying out in pain from the severity of economic hardship. Come out.
“Whether you do right or continue to do wrong by your people is entirely your Choice, Nigerian Governments led by
@officialABAT.
“As for the Nigerian People, the die is now cast and the rubicon is also now crossed on the matter of their knowledge of the supremacy of their collective Power over that of the Politicians, their Governments and the Bad Governance they give daily.
“It is easy to understand this. Between the People and their Politicians, who is fretting with Fear over the Protests?
“Whatever will be your answer to that question is totally in your hands.”
