Let me say something.
I agree that the subsidy was a cancer, and I agree with President Tinubu for removing it.
But one thing the APC government has constantly failed to do is show prudence, empathy, accountability, and probity.
Nigerians cannot be suffering and living in fear of their safety daily, and we see elected government officials living in opulence and brazingly weaponizing poverty.
It's like adding salt to our injuries.
From how they display wealth, to even the convoy of elected officials and their arrogance, it shows that they do not see themselves as public servants.
Rather, they see themselves as messiahs who are not answerable to the citizens and can do anything and get away with it.
We have seen several politicians who have fraudulent cases to answer being welcomed to APC in particular, and their cases are no longer being pursued or prosecuted.
If you want Nigerians to endure the suffering, the least you can do as a government is to ensure the safety of their lives of almost non-existent properties.
And it must be reflected in the conduct and utterances of political office holders.
This is where the leaders get it wrong:
Displaying questionable wealth in the midst of poverty, and showing a lack of empathy.
Therefore, Nigerians have the right to be angry. And Nigerians have the right to reject a failed government.
You cannot lead us by force, and you must show readiness to conduct free and fair elections and commit to handing over power should you lose in that election.
Just as GEJ did.
The Nigerian presidency is not Tinubu's birthright, neither is APC the only political party, nor are their supporters the privileged citizens.
I am a legitimate taxpayer and a law-abiding citizen, and so are millions of us. And I fear for the future of my children.
End.
