Senator Shehu Sani has expressed his views on the ongoing nationwide protests against poor governance, which began on Thursday, August 1.
He noted a significant observation: native doctors, traditionally seen as problem solvers, are participating in these demonstrations.
Sani remarked that their involvement signifies a loss of their mystical powers, attributing this decline to the pervasive hunger affecting many Nigerians.
Sani emphasised that the protests reflect a broader societal frustration over the government’s handling of economic issues, particularly the escalating hunger crisis.
He stated that the presence of native doctors in the protests illustrates the desperation felt across various sectors of society, indicating that even those who are typically seen as having solutions are now compelled to take to the streets.
The protests have been organised to call attention to the dire economic situation and demand accountability from the government.
Sani, who has a history of activism, urged for peaceful demonstrations and warned against any violence that could arise from the protests.
He highlighted the importance of the right to protest, stating that it is a fundamental aspect of democracy.
