Protest: Govt Is Demonising People To Incite Terrorism, Create Chaotic Situation – PDP Chieftain

The former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, Dan Ulasi, has asserted that the Nigerian government is trying to demonise a group of people to incite terrorism through the upcoming planned protests against bad governance in Nigeria.

Naija News reports that the PDP chieftain made this known in an interview on Arise News on Tuesday.

He urged the government to channel the energy they are using to resist the upcoming planned protests in the country to solve the problems that have brought about the protests.

Ulasi noted that it was the first time that Nigerians were speaking about hunger in the country and it is essential for the government to solve the problems.

He said, “I hope they have not also demonised people, because part of the problem is that there are so many forms of anticipated terrorism, what I call stalkerstic terrorism, where you demonise people or a group of persons to incite them to terrorism, I think that’s part of what this government is doing. Why they are doing it, I don’t know. Maybe they want to create a chaotic situation that might enable them survive. Tinubu is a very clever person, people underrate him, but he’s a very clever person and I don’t underrate him. So, they must have a purpose.

“This is a lot more serious problem that, rather surprisingly. Almost unanimously across the country, people are talking of protests, and there has to be fundamental reasons for that. So, it’s not just enough. If the energy the government at the federal level and the state governors have put in the past four days trying to make sure the protest does not come out, if they have put 10% of that same energy to try to resolve- because everybody knows what the problems are, at the zonal level, let the five or six governors every zone, say how do we protect our farmers to successfully go to their farms, even using vigilantes for them to produce so that problem will not- this is the first serious time Nigerians are talking about being hungry.”
