According to the the Professor , ” the former Governor of Lagos and self acclaimed Leader of the All Progressives Congress was sponsoring the protest in order to cripple the country and discredit the administration of President Buhari internationally. This is the same strategy they used against former president Jonathan. Recall that they promoted the bring back our girls to the point that it got international sympathy. The only Challenge Tinubu is facing now is that he is yet to get the Northern youths to join the protest the same way the North got the Southerners to join the protest against Jonathan. ”

I want Nigerians and particularly the youths to be aware of Tinubu’s plans to distablise the country and rubbish President Buhari’s achievements. He also intends to use this protest as tool to fest uprising in the country inorder to divert attention from the issues that might puncture is 2023 Presidential bid.
