Prof. Ishaq Akintola, the founder of MURIC, expressed concern over Abubakar’s choice of words, suggesting that they could spark unrest among the public. He acknowledged that the economic situation in Nigeria is challenging, but he urged Abubakar to convey this message more carefully, considering his experience as a former leader.
Akintola also took issue with Abubakar’s comments that seemed to encourage protests, reminding everyone of the turmoil caused by past demonstrations like the #EndBadGovernance movement. He advised Abubakar to share his advice with government officials instead, as he is a respected figure in the Nigerian Peace Committee.
In conclusion, MURIC called on Abubakar to be more responsible in his public statements, especially given the already difficult economic circumstances that many Nigerians are facing.
