Yunusa to Tinubu: Don’t Assume You’re Immune To Consequences, Help The People Now Before It’s Too Late

Labour Party chieftain Tanko Yunusa has urged President Bola Tinubu to act swiftly on the current socio-economic protests, warning that ignoring the situation could have serious consequences. “Mr President do not sit on that chair and think nothing can happen to you, help the people, do it now before it is too late,”

During an interview with ARISE NEWS on Tuesday, Yunusa highlighted that the protests in the north represent a significant shift towards socioeconomic issues, marking a departure from the traditional focus on ethnicity, tribalism, or religion.

Yunusa stated that “for the first time in the north they are involved in socioeconomic protest.”

Criticising the government’s response, Yunusa noted that despite a month’s advance notice, “the government did not take precise position and deal with the issue immediately.”

He also condemned the alleged involvement of the President in sponsoring protests, stating, “Mr President has allegedly said to have been sponsoring protests and nobody has threatened or arrested him.”

Yunusa suggested that addressing issues such as fuel prices could have averted the unrest: “Had it been that the government of the day including Mr President had been able to make one single pronouncement to bring the prices of PMS down to 200 naira per litre we possibly wouldn’t have had this protest.”

He concluded by urging the President to act decisively and emphasised the need for immediate action to address the people’s demands.
