A professor of Political Science and member of governing board of the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), Jibrin Ibrahim says Nigerians are angry because they are being deceived by the President Bola Tinubu government.
Ibrahim made the observation during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
He lamented that governance was collapsing in Nigeria, saying that the government had failed in its promises to cushion the suffering of Nigerians.
“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,” he said.
The political analyst noted that patients in hospitals are dying on a daily basis because they don’t have money to buy medicine, pointing out that Nigerians are starving because of the economic situation in the country.
According to him, the government wants Nigerians to starve in silence.
