The retired military aide lamented that the nationwide broadcast by President Tinubu failed to address the demands of the protesters.
Al-Mustapha, one-time presidential candidate of Action Alliance (AA) said the long notice given by the protesters offered enough time for the presidency to nip the demonstration in the bud, The Guardian reported.
He noted that a sincere leadership would never have allowed the crisis to snowball but would have devised means to curtail it even before it erupts.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja, on Wednesday, Al-Mustapha, said:
“I am not in support of the protests. I had spoken some three weeks back. Issued out a warning and said never to allow the protest commence.
