The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for the Federal House of Representative election for Dekina/Bassa in Kogi State, Usman Okai Austin, has called on President Bola Tinubu to address Nigerians amid the ongoing nationwide protest.

Okai said a presidential address would go a long way to calm the nerves of protesters and inspire hope.

Posting on X, the socio-political commentator warned that the nationwide protest might linger on.

The post tagged: “When Not To Keep Quiet,” “Many Nigerians were expecting a presidential address yesterday to ease the growing tensions and unrest across the country.

“However, the absence of a powerful broadcast from the President has left citizens feeling disappointed and concerned.

“Whoever is advising President Bola Tinubu against addressing Nigerians is not doing him a Favour.

“This #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest will linger on. In times of crisis, a leader’s words can go a long way in calming nerves and inspiring hope. Unfortunately, the President’s silence has only added to the anxiety and frustration felt by many.

“The ongoing protests and demonstrations are a clear indication of the people’s desire for change and better governance.

“A presidential address could have been a crucial opportunity to acknowledge the grievances, offer reassurance, and outline concrete steps towards addressing the issues.

“The clock is ticking, and the nation waits with bated breath for a word from its leader. Will the President seize the moment and address the nation, or will the silence continue, fueling more uncertainty and unrest? Only time will tell.”

Yesterday, Nigerians took to the streets to begin the 10-day nationwide protest against Tinubu’s administration.

The protest was an avenue for aggrieved Nigerians to cry out over the level of hunger and hardship in the country.
