Madubuachi Idam, an activist and lawyer, urged President Bola Tinubu on Monday to take responsibility for certain Northerners’ display of the Russian flag during the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.
Protesters and foreigners were arrested in Kano and other northern states for flying the Russian flag during the recently concluded protest.
However, Idam termed the display of the Russian flag as the highest form of treachery and civil disobedience to Nigerian sovereignty.
Speaking to DAILY POST, the activist stated that “flying the Russian flag by Northern protesters is the highest expression of civil disobedience and disloyalty to Nigeria’s sovereignty by citizens.”
“The exact offence committed by such conduct is legally uncertain whereas the unspoken words behind the act are clearly scornful, contemptuous and disdainful both nationally and internationally.
“Unfortunately, President Tinubu should blame no one but himself for the shameful display of disallegiance to his government especially by (his own darlings) those whose votes he claims made him the president. His words have been unkind both to the protesters and the situation at hand.”
He directed the president to get realistic economists into his administration to assist grow Nigeria’s economy.
Idam added: “I urge the President to urgently recruit “practical economists” wherever they may be into his government. They should be individuals with practical knowledge of “How to Grow an Economy” within a short period of time.
“He should do away with conventional politicians whose only idea of growing the economy is “share money and grandstand before the media.
“Nigeria needs urgent attention. The auto-pilot model on which Nigeria’s economy has been running for years appears not sustainable any longer. Failure to attend to these issues, the protest may most likely resurge nation wide with our Northern brothers taking the lead this time.”
