Archbishop Professor Princewilll Ariwodor has asked President Bola Tinubu to honourably step down if he has no solution to the country’s economic challenges.
Ariwodor, who is the National Chairman of Abia State Elders Consultative Forum, spoke with Vanguard in the wake of the nationwide protest against hunger and bad governance on August 1.
He argued Tinubu should not have made himself available to lead the country if he knew he had no solution to the challenges plaguing the nation particularly the hardship created by his anti-people policies.
The cleric also cautioned Government against any attempt to scare citizens from holding peaceful protest, describing such as an ambush against democracy.
Ariwodor said; “We have never experienced this level of decay in the economic management of this country. Other leaders were in one way or the other better than the current Government.
“Tinubu should resign if he is unable to fix the economy. The Nigeria economy was far better before he took over. Buhari handed over to him a better economy which he has now destroyed.
“But his allies and psych0paths don’t tell him the truth. Nigerians are suffering, there is no pretense. Nigerians are hungry and have the constitutional right to express their grievances through peaceful protest. The people are not violent, so, why will you apply force against peaceful protesters?
“Why will you flog people and ask them not to cry? You are flogging the nation and shouldn’t ask the people not to cry. Government should listen to public opinions. Pressure groups, provided they are not violent, make Governments to sit up.”
