Oby Ezekwesili To Nigerian Government: ‘Stop Spreading Fear’ Ahead Of August 1 Protest”

Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili, has charged Nigerian Government against spreading fear ahead of the EnBadGovernance protest scheduled for August 1st.

Ezekwesili said the protest is a valid way of Nigerians expressing their grievances over their situation.

Posting on X, the former Minister declared her stand with the organisers of the protest.

She wrote: “This unrelenting media propaganda all over the country by the @NigeriaGov and their supporters is just because their badly governed and suffering Citizens finally got distressed and discomfited enough to collectively raise their Voice and ask them to please #EndBadGovernance?

“Your Citizens are asking for Good Governance and instead of seeing this as an Opportunity, you are escalating Fear in the Land? Truly sad to see.

“At least one good thing from this massive propaganda machinery that has been unleashed is the BIG evidence that

The Power of the People* is indeed greater than the *The People in Power*.

“We need no further proof.

“The #EndBadGovernanceProtest is a valid exercise of the right of the People to peacefully say to their Public “Leaders”, “Enough is Enough!”.

“I laud and stand with the Nigerian Citizens for the resilience shown in a season of severest economic hardship.

“May our country experience better days just because the People have discovered their Power to set their Public Leaders aright.”
