Jibrin Ibrahim, a professor of political science and a member of the governing board of the Centre for Democracy and Development, CDD, has explained why Nigerians are angry with President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview with Channels TV, Mr Ibrahim said Nigerians are angry because they are being deceived by the Tinubu administration.
He also accused the government of failing on its promises to the people, hence the collapse of the country.
He added that because of the level of inflation in the country, Nigerians were starving on a daily basis.
He said: “When they removed the fuel subsidy, they said in weeks we will have CNG buses and the price of transportation will crash. They said this 13 months ago. Nigerians have not seen those buses. It is called waiting for Godot in literature.
“When you are told continuously that you will see them and you wait for weeks, months, and a year and nothing is coming. You know that what you are told is just a narrative, not based on reality.
“That is why Nigerians are very upset. They are very angry. They are being deceived regularly and systematically by a government that feels that it can tell stories and we survive.
“We refuse to do what we need to do but we survive because we tell stories that will cover up. And Nigerians said, no you can’t tell stories.”
The political analyst noted that patients were dying on a daily basis because they did not not have money to buy medicine.
According to him, Nigerians are starving because of the economic situation in the country, but the government wants them to starve in silence.
