Letter to Senator Shehu Sani
While your concerns about the potential involvement of northern elite in the #EndBadGovernance protests are understandable, it is important to approach this matter with a balanced perspective. The protests reflect widespread dissatisfaction across different regions of Nigeria, driven by a variety of issues including economic hardships, insecurity, and the desire for better governance.
Attributing these protests solely to a conspiracy by northern elite risks oversimplifying the genuine grievances of Nigerians. The call for better governance is not unique to any particular region or political faction but resonates with the broader population that seeks accountability and improvement in their daily lives.
It is crucial to foster dialogue and address the underlying issues that have fueled these protests, rather than diverting attention towards divisive narratives that could further polarise the nation. Constructive engagement and a focus on the welfare of all Nigerians should remain the priority. The voices of the people must be heard, and their concerns addressed to strengthen our democracy and ensure that governance truly serves the people.
