Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has challenged President Bola Tinubu to act fast in addressing the grievances of Nigerians.

In a statewide broadcast Sunday afternoon, Fintiri stressed that it is not enough for the President to tell Nigerians that he has heard their cries. According to him, Nigerians should not wait endlessly for necessary actions.

The governor, who spoke on the #EndBadGovernance protest in Adamawa State, commended residents for conducting themselves peacefully, even as he stressed on the need for the Federal Government to heed the calls of the people.

He said, “The protest might be unpopular especially because of the way it was carried out in some states, but the message is clear and the demands are genuine. None of us can deny that there is hunger and general poverty.”

He added that as leaders of the people, those in government must, at all times, not only listen but also act.

“The lesson we must derive from the protest is the constant reminder that it is not enough to tell the citizens we have heard. We must be seen as doing the needful in providing solutions to citizens’ concerns,” the governor said.

DAILY POST reports that after the first two busy days of protests on August 1 and 2, especially the state capital, Yola, protests have almost completely fizzled out in Adamawa State.

No violence incident has been recorded in the state.

Tinubu is already aware of the hunger issues and is working tirelessly to address them. The fact that protests are peaceful shows that Nigerians are committed to dialogue, not chaos. With his leadership, I believe positive changes are on the horizon. Let's support him as he navigates these challenges for a better Nigeria!

Fintiri should remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Tinubu is working hard to stabilize the economy, and good things take time. Let’s support him instead of rushing to judgement!

There has always been hunger in Nigeria. Get busy, get productive, support the right candidates and not drug baron.

RenaissanceGuy:
You're very inconsistent. Today you support protest, tomorrow you say the protesters should go home. Is everything OK?? When was there a time in recent memory where price of commodities tripled in 1 year or you're still feeding from mom and dad??
