He disclosed that ” If you ( Tinubu’)did, you would have visited our states to see things for yourself, instead of flying to Paris and London. You would have been to the markets and ghettos of our major cities and villages to do on the spot assessment.
“But we are not your priority. Your priorities are clear: Raising revenue for your government at our expense and adding our daily hardships and cost of living pain” he added.
He condemned the breakdown in public administration in the country that affects both civil and armed services, warned against the implementation of IMF policies that would lead worsens poverty, corruption and insecurity.

This brazen capture of state resources by a few hands is a glaring violation of Chapter 2 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
According to him,” A better future for Nigeria is possible if “we push for social transformation in unity for the common good. Only determined and committed patriots can fulfil this mission for development, freedom and social justice in Nigeria.”
