A former Nigerian minister, Solomon Dalung has called on Nigerians to embark on nationwide protests over unending hardship in the country.
DAILY GIST reports that Dalung was the Minister of Sports and Youth Development under the administration of Ex-president, Muhammadu Buhari.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) page, he urged citizens to “speak the language the government understands.”
He stressed that they should not passively endure the hardships imposed by poor governance.
The former minister highlighted the worsening situation in northern states, where widespread blackouts have compounded issues of food insecurity and financial hardship.
He said: “Northern states have blackouts added to their predicaments; hunger, poverty & misery has taken citizens hostage.
While @officialABAT lavishly lives big with his officials imposing taxes for their comfort while calling Nigerians to sacrifice for renewed hopelessness.
Have Nigerians been abandoned by voices of conscience? Where are @Tunde_52882, @WoleSoyink58747, @femifalana_SAN, @ShehuSani, @_dinomelaye’ @YeleSowore, @AishaYesufu, @SolomonDalung, @elrufai, @Akin_Malaolu, @adeyanjudeji, @kfayemi, @ruffydfire, @abati1990, etc?.
“The country is navigating seriously into the abyss. We cannot surrender to the ignorance of a few, while watching Nigeria fall.
We must return to the street and speak the languages they understand. What are we scared of death or jail?”, Dalung added.
