"The protests are to demand accountability from those who are destroying our common heritage." Solomon Dalung, Regarding Nationwide Protest.

Solomon Dalung, a former Nigerian Minister of Youth Development and Sports, claimed that President Bola Tinubu and his "locust cabal" were solely interested in Nigeria's wealth.

The president's spokeswoman, Bayo Onanuga, came under fire from Dalung as well for saying that the planned national demonstration against poor leadership is an attempt to topple the government. The former minister remarked that Onanuga's remarks were not only cruel but also evil in a post on his X account on Saturday.

In his words, "The generation of Nigerians demanding good governance, accountability, and justice are more entitled to Nigeria than the group of scavengers occupying power." Dalung maintained that the purpose of the planned protest is to hold those responsible for the destruction of Nigeria's shared history accountable.

He continued: “Make no mistake about it, we love our country, but @officialABAT and his locust cabal love only the wealth of Nigeria. The protests are to demand accountability from those who are destroying our common heritage. Nigerians have nowhere to go, but @officialABAT has France, while others have Europe, Canada, and the USA. Therefore, @aonanuga1956 calling out Nigerians as those planning to destabilize Nigeria is not only uncharitable but wicked.

“The generation of Nigerians demanding good governance, accountability, and justice are more entitled to Nigeria than the group of scavengers occupying power. Take it to the bank, the protests are sacrosanct. Deploying antics of divide and rule will not only fail but are antiquated. The only antidote to the protests is for @officialABAT and his cult of plunderers to surrender to the demands of the people. The fear of the protests degenerating into anarchy is the evil imagination of your mind, calculated to abate holding the government responsible. All we are demanding is good governance, which is not too much.”
