Gov Dapo Abiodun

Gov Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has referred to Nigerians embarking on the ongoing protest against bad governance and economic crisis as sore losers.

The Governor said those behind the protest want to oust President Bola Tinubu from power but are only hiding under the guise of protests to express their dissatisfaction with the President.

He added that such persons should wait till 2027 rather than sponsor faceless protests against the government.

According to him, those who voted for Tinubu and want him as their President are more than those who voted against him.

The Ogun State Governor made the submission on Thursday during an appearance on Channels Television where he spoke about the #EndBadGovernance protest.

“The majority of Nigerians voted for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He majorly won the election, and that says one this; those who wanted him to be president were far more than those who didn’t. The problem we have today is that Nigerians are sore losers. Rather than accept the fact that you want a regime change and wait till 2027, don’t begin to sponsor faceless, leaderless protests under the guise that you’re dissatisfied,” he said.

Abiodun added that the current economic challenges are not peculiar to Nigeria and instead of protests, Nigerians should join hands with President Tinubu to build the country.

“The economic realities is not is not peculiar to Nigeria alone. There were protests in Ghana yesterday, there were protests in London today. So what are we talking about? The medicine for a headache is not to cut off the head. We must all work and join hands together and speak to each other. Let us have a dialogue that is constructive,” the Governor said.
