Adamawa Governor Tinubu Protest

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Finitri, has blasted President Bola Tinubu for his speech on Sunday, stating that it is not enough to tell the citizens that their cries have been heard but must also be followed by actions to provide solutions for the citizens’ concerns.

Acknowledging the demands of the protesters are genuine, Finitri, in a statewide broadcast Sunday afternoon, stated that it cannot be denied that there is hunger and general poverty in the country made worse by harsh economic realities, deficit policy direction, and insensitivity of the Tinubu-led administration to engage the citizens civilly.

“As leaders of the people, we must at all times not only listen but act. The lesson we must derive from the protest is that it is not enough to tell the citizens we have heard. We must be seen doing what is needed to provide solutions to their concerns,” he said, adding that some of the protesters’ demands, as genuine as they are, are microeconomic policy issues that can only be addressed by the national government.

West Africa Weekly reported that the President, in a televised speech on Sunday, addressed the #Endbadgovernance protesters. He ordered an end to all protests and demonstrations while blatantly ignoring their demands.
