Former Minister of Education of Nigeria, Obiageli Katryn Ezekwesili has lambasted Bola Tinubu over his speech on Sunday regarding the EndBadGovernance protest.
Ezekwesili made this statement in a post she shared on his X handle on Sunday.
She wrote, “@officialABAT , As one of millions of Nigerians who were at church when you delivered your late-in-coming Speech to Citizens on the #EndBadGovernancelnNigeria protests, let me loudly say it was terribly underwhelming to read.
“Your Speech reads like a page from your party manifesto and terribly failed to connect to what our Citizens on the Streets are angry and protesting about.
“Your speech is quite a monumental missed opportunity to placate citizens with sound answers and outline of convincing evidence-based actions that you and your @NigeriaGov will immediately take to address the priority #BadGovernance concerns.
She continued, “Your Speech was sadly again written out of a mindset that is focused on “getting back at our enemies”. Imaginary enemies at that! No true Leader has the luxury of having “enemies” among their Citizens.

“@officialABAT , Citizens know when they are being badly governed and from what one can see, Nigerians have now realized that they must collectively speak up and take action otherwise their self-obsessed rulers (and not leaders) will not pay them any heed at all.”
Ezekwesili further reminded Tinubu to stop the Police from killing innocent protesters and sanction those doing underwise.
“As we remember and pray for families of all our citizens mauled down or maimed for demanding an End to Bad Governance, let me call on you@Officials to immediately instruct the IG@PoliceNG and his men to “STOP KILLING PEACEFUL PROTESTERS NOW!
“Also fish out all law enforcement personnel that have killed and maimed citizens and ensure they are sanctioned as a deterrence to their colleagues,”she added.
