In a statement on Wednesday, Adegboruwa said the youths’ campaign regarding the planned protest has been successful, noting that government officials have been scrambling in response.
He said “bad governance practices” such as spending billions on religious pilgrimages while providing meagre loans to students, must be halted.
“I would first like to salute the courage of the organizers of the Hunger and End Bad Governance Protests, for their patriotism and zeal,” the statement reads.
“I know that a lot must have gone into the preparations for the protests, in terms of human and material resources. They are certainly not in vain.
“Since the announcement of the protests, the administration of President Tinubu has become unduly jittery, pandering to primordial ethnic and religious sentiments, to save face.
“No one can deny the fact of hunger, occasioned by galloping food inflation, in which we now buy a tuber of yam for N10,000, with the other staple foods such as gaari, rice, egg, bread, beans now out of reach of the common people.
“The economic policies of the Tinubu administration are suffocating the people out of their existence and I’m very happy that the propaganda machinery of the government has failed in these past days, in the face of the biting hunger and mass suffering.”
He commended the youths for their courage and patriotism, adding that it is crucial to immediately stop the extravagance of government officials.
“There is a need to urgently end the wastage by government functionaries, arising from their lavish and luxurious lifestyles,” he said.
“How can the president buy a new jet; the vice-president renovates his house with N21 billion, and the people are expected to suffer? How do you widen your wealth and luxuries and preach to the people to tighten their belts?”
