As
Melaye urges sack of Mrs. Adeosun, Udo Udoma and Emefiele
Northern
leader and national chairman of Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP),
Balarabe Musa has told Nigerians to protest against President Buhari’s
administration. Daily Post quoted Balarabe as telling The Sun in an interview
that hunger is a powerful tool in instigating protests and since the current
administration has failed in ensuring food security, then Nigerians have a
right protect their interests by protesting.

He however
admitted that this could have dire consequences for the Buhari-led
administration. He said: “Well, they should protest. I know that it is a risk
because security men may shoot them. However, they should protest because this
is their life. Somebody is playing with their lives, somebody is destroying
their lives, they should defend their lives and protect their interest.
“Before the
last general election, many Nigerians saw Buhari as an angel who could rescue
the country from socio-economic problems but Nigerians are now saying that they
misjudged, and Nigerians should in future make sure that they assess any
prospective leader critically, taking into account his records, his inclination
and everything, particularly records of performance in office.
“Nigerians are not different from the rest of
human kinds; they are not different from the rest of the people in the world.
Whatever people did in the world to protect themselves or show their anger
against bad government, Nigerians can do it, and nobody should deceive himself
that Nigerians are so docile, that they will not revolt. Anger pushes anybody
to the limit.”

According to him, “The idea of government asking Nigerians to be patient can
only be sustained in a situation whereby people see hope and changes. But where
people don’t see changes, where they don’t see the basis for expecting changes,
and they suffer continuously, appealing to them to be patient may befutile.
“There is hunger in the land and Nigerians are dying of hunger. I dare to warn
the President and everybody that can listen, that history has proved that mass
hunger, hunger of the population, mass poverty of the population, killer hunger
have always been the most immediate cause of proletarian revolution in every
country of the world. And the President should know this; let him not be
deceived by those who are benefitting from the current situation of hunger.”
Meanwhile, Senator Dino Melaye, representing
Kogi-West Senatorial District has called on President Buhari to take drastic
measures on the ailing economy, including the immediate sack of the minister of
finance, Kemi Adeosun, minister of budget and national planning, Senator Udo
Udoma and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele.
Melaye, in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, September 4, he said the
president must shake up his cabinet and accused some members of cabinet as
lacking the capacity to deliver on the mandates of their ministries and
agencies.
