#Endbadgovernance Suspects: Oby Ezekwesili’s Open Letter to Tinubu after the Arraignment of Minors

News - Women's Perspective

Former Nigerian Minister, Obi Ezekwesili has shared her disappointment with President Bola Tinubu following the arraignment of malnourished minors accused of treason.

The underaged suspects are said to have been arraigned for participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest earlier in the year.

The letter:

#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria is shared by overwhelming majority of your citizens. For real.

How many of your Citizens can you take to court like done to these minors?

How many of your Citizens can you detain and deprive of their freedoms like done to these minors?

Hear me.

No ruler has ever won against their people forever. Check history.

Note that I wrote ruler and not leader.

The repressive class of politicians in Nigeria are not leaders. You all have serially failed the “test of leadership” because you act as wicked rulers who feel entitled to the “publicly-funded luxurious life” while repressing and pauperizing the citizens.

Second, @officialABAT , the evident corrupted capture of our Judiciary by the @NigeriaGov is playing out daily on Candid Camera before the eyes of the world.
The trial of these minors is one of many examples these days.

Stop the wicked prosecution of these minors immediately and send the children back to their parents and guardians.

Next, ensure that they are compensated for the physical, mental, emotional and overall psychological damage.

Meanwhile, videos of the extremely malnourished minors have continued to attract public reactions.
