Why are the protesters focused only on The presidency by Sapasenator(op):
I think top on the list of the demand should be the removal of Akpabio as Senate president. Why is none of them talking about this?

Senate is also a very power tool for change in Nigeria.

PitObi didn't lose senatorial election so what do you expect?

Are people not suffering undue hardship? Is there no severe hunger in the Land?

You beat a child and expect the child not to cry?

Action and reaction are equal and opposite.

Some of you can be quite irritating with your obvious lack of common sense.

Was it Akpabio that foolishly slurred, "subzidi iz gone" on inauguration day, and speedily followed it up with devaluation of Naira? Is it not obvious to everyone, including very stupid people, that THAT is the immediate source of the economic problems, inflation and hunger that ordinary Nigerians have suffered over the past one year?

Can you explain how this relate to Obi?

Obi is rich and can survive any hardship in Nigeria. Can you honestly say that about yourself?

So your useless protest has put an end to your suffering? By the way why are you not protesting? Why is there no protest in your state?

Everyday, you hide behind disgruntled elements.
Are you even normal ?

Do you realize even those of us that aren't disgruntled dont like any policy implemented by this stupid administration.
Or you rather live in your deluded world by calling everyone disgruntled ?

What are the alternatives? Keeping quiet while your government keep looting?

Where you in Nigeria when Tinubu and APC were protesting on the streets?

You see my friend, whether it achieves any thing or not, a protest is a means of communication to the government about the plights of the people.

I know you are a poor tribalist and the only reason you are angry is because the president is from your neck of the region, nothing else.

I can survive any hardship in Nigeria just like Obi.

Now, can you also say that about yourself?

I am a citizens of other countries for the past decade and maintains residence all over the world. I pulled all my businesse interests out of Nigeria and my only connection to Nigeria is the N5000 in my UBA account.

I will survive if the whole Naija burns to the ground my friend.

Senate is also a very power tool for change in Nigeria.
when the HEAD is faulty

Sapasenator:
It would also be effective if demands could be made for Akpabio's resignation and for specific Bills to be passed into laws.
The call should be chanted heavily right now. That would be a very HUGE achievement if it is the only thing.
Next should be an end to importation of Toyotas and halting coastal highway project, channelling the funds into massive importation of farm machinery for the creation of STATE FARMS in each state.

Also we should see demands for accountability from the state governors as well.

The president of course but you do realize he does not have all the powers. The Senate is also very powerful and it is very hard for any protester to reach the president in Aso Rock.

How do you intend to change someone who is already validly elected into the Senate by his own constituency, and whose election as a principal officer of the Senate is by the votes of his fellow Senators?

You mistake the office of a Senate President for mere political appointment like Minister or Special Adviser?

No, no can't remove him from the Senate, I am hoping for him to be removed as the Senate president as he is not representing the interests of the people.

Some of those people illiteracy is just too low to have meaningful discussion with.

Nigerians should remove Akpabio, hahhaha
Re: Why are the protesters focused only on The presidency by Sapasenator(op): 6:35pm On Aug 01, 2024
I am watching Channel News and totally love the question raised by the news anchor

1. Do people have a reason to protest ? Yes.

2. Is their anger justified? Yes

3. Do people have the rights to protest under the constitution? YES

4. Is there a possibility for a peaceful protest to be hijacked? YES.

5. Has the president come live to address the protests as someone who cares? No

Now because there is a possibility of number 4 does not negate the rights of the citizens to a peaceful protests, it only places a bigger responsibility on the police and security angencies not to allow a peaceful protest degenerates.
