A team leader of the Bauchi North zone #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest, Isah Zaki, has expressed the team\u2019s dissatisfaction with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s Sunday nationwide broadcast.<\/p>\n
The good governance activist who spoke to our correspondent on the development said Tinubu\u2019s broadcast failed to address the protesters\u2019 agitations.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe president\u2019s broadcast has not captured or mentioned any solutions to the demands of the poor masses. The only reason we are considering the relaxation of the protest in Bauchi North follows hoodlum activities during the protest which have done more harm to our businessmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe broadcast did not, of course, address our demands and that of poor masses, but we have decided to listen to Mr president considering the unfortunate activities of hoodlums in parts of the protest.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, we may suspend the protest and give room for dialogue as the president requested because we have the knowledge that every battle always ends in meaningful dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zaki added \u201cIn the event where the dialogue did work, we all call on our national assembly representatives to do the needful.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is what they are voted for, to speak on our behalf. In the President\u2019s speech, it is clear that he does not understand our demands. We may give a chance for dialogue as I said, but if he doesn\u2019t do the need, our national representatives in both green and red chambers must do the needful.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell him the truth about our situation, or recall them back to vote for those that are equal to the task,\u201d Zaki insisted.<\/p>\n
He reiterated that the protest relaxation in Bauchi North was not in compliance with the President\u2019s request but for consideration of the trouble some individuals, especially business owners, were landed in by hoodlums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
