Afenifere is in Support of Planned Protests Against Hardship - Faloye

We had warned President Tinubu of the consequences of these colonial policies he had implemented and the resulting hunger in the land. We are not behind the Tinubu administration. However, we do not support violence or anarchy, we are fully behind the peaceful protest against hardship caused by his administration

Pa Ayọ Adebanjọ and his group are true nationalists in the sense of their support for justice, equity and unity as against regional and narrow irredentist objectives pursued by the Fasoranti faction. Who, in his or her right senses, will support Tinubu's woeful leadership performance after previously enduring the harrowing eight years of locust superintendented by another APC vampire, Buhari. I used the "v" word intentionally because these guys dish out policies that are sucking the bloods out of the poor masses. Tinubu just wanted to be Nigeria's president without any clear-cut plan or knowledge of how to solve the problems he inherited from his political ally from Daura, Katsina State. APC has damaged Nigeria beyond repairs and must be shown the way out. It is not about rigging oneself into power by stealing the electoral mandate given to the people's overwhelming choice of presidential candidate, but knowing what to do with the mandate after stealing it.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL THE PROBLEMS, namely; Utelize your execetive powers to 1. Allow state governors liase with commisioners of police to train and equip the states' security aparatus with AK 47 rifles to defend their territory while you forward a bill to the national assembly for the establishment of a proper state police. 2. Ensure the anti open grazing bill is pass into law ASAP to calm nerves for others who do not understand why a special attention is given to cattle rarers when you created a ministry of livestock. and 3.
