The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has praised President Bola Tinubu for taking bold steps to dismantle the powerful groups that have been exploiting Nigeria’s resources for their own gain.
According to Governor Uzodinma, these groups are the masterminds behind the ongoing nationwide protests against President Tinubu, despite being the primary beneficiaries of the country’s wealth.
News About Nigeria reports in a statement, Governor Uzodinma commended the people of the Southeast region for their wisdom in not participating in the nationwide protests.
He acknowledged that peaceful protests are a fundamental right of citizens, but stated that President Tinubu has demonstrated a commitment to addressing the country’s challenges.
Governor Uzodinma expressed his admiration for the people of the Southeast, stating that their decision to prioritize safety and stability showcases great prudence.
He noted that while peaceful protests are a right, the potential danger of hijackers targeting peaceful demonstrators is a concern that should not be taken lightly.
The governor criticized those who have contributed to the country’s current economic challenges, yet are now sponsoring protests instead of working with the federal government to find solutions.
He attributed this reaction to President Tinubu’s courageous efforts to dismantle the entrenched cabal that has been exploiting Nigeria’s resources.
Governor Uzodinma’s statement stated the complex dynamics at play in Nigeria’s political landscape.
He added that citizens have the right to express their grievances through peaceful protest and there are powerful groups that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and will stop at nothing to discredit President Tinubu’s efforts to bring about change.
Uzodinma, however, acknowledged the importance of prioritising safety and stability in these uncertain times.
