The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has described citizens tongue-lashing President Bola Tinubu over his speech on the ongoing #EndBadgGovernanceInNigeria protest, as individuals with nefarious intentions.
He said the critics intended to force the President to negotiate power with them.
Keyamo stated this through a short statement he posted on his verified X handle on Tuesday.
The statement reads, “Even if Mr President @officialABAT redrafts his wonderful speech one million times over, those with nefarious intentions will continue to pooh-pooh it in order to justify their continued instigation of mayhem.
“Their real intention is to force the hand of Mr President to negotiate power with them. It is as simple as that. The fall guys are the ignorant, but patriotic compatriots on social media screaming their heads off and the robbers and hoodlums that are rampaging on the streets.”
The minister, however, added, “Behind all these facades is a complex chess game of power with unseen hands.”
It will be recalled that some Nigerians criticised the President that his address on the nationwide protest did not address the yearnings of the protesters.
Prominent amongst persons who have knocked the president for the address are Noble Laureate, Wole Soyinka, Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu, a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, among others.
