Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, has blamed President Bola Tinubu for the current challenges bedeviling Nigerians that have sparked a planned protest nationwide.
In an open letter to the president posted on X, Momodu expressed concern over the difficulties faced by ordinary Nigerians and the perception that the President’s approach to governance has shifted.
“Unfortunately, things have not been easy for Nigerians (except members of the privilegentsia) since you realized your lifelong ambition. And let me be frank Sir. You caused it all. You did not realize that a country is much more complicated than a State
“I’m sad and embarrassed that a fighter for Democracy is now saying Nigerians will not be allowed to congregate and demonstrate on the streets, something you and I enjoyed during the military regimes, at home and abroad.,” he stated.
Momodu further stated that while he is against anarchy, he believes in managing potential threats without undermining democratic rights.
“I will never support anarchy, after engaging in peace initiatives in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and The Gambia. But I’m reasonably assured that any potential threat can be contained and nipped in the bud,” he noted.
Momodu advised Tinubu to seek guidance from civil liberties advocates and to evaluate the effectiveness of Nigeria’s security agencies without resorting to authoritarian measures.
“Please Sir, go back to your original friends in civil liberties and seek their assistance. Then, use this opportunity to test the strength, security architecture, and combat readiness of our security agencies.
“Ignore the advice of the hawks in your team. They have nothing to lose since they are mostly beneficiaries of what others died for,” he stated.
“They have nothing to lose since they are mostly beneficiaries of what others died for. Resist the temptations of full-blown dictatorship. You’re in my prayers as you bear this cross,” he concluded.
