Describing the situation as “very sad,” Abdullahi attributed the country’s problems to both Nigerians and their leaders, emphasizing the need for accountability and the repeated election of the wrong people.

As a personal friend of President Tinubu, Abdullahi advised the President to listen to the complaints of the people and ensure that his officials provide honest and sincere reports. He stressed the importance of the President devising ways to verify the information given by his close associates and punishing any official found to be in breach of the law.

Addressing the recent protests against perceived hardship, Abdullahi affirmed that hunger is a reality in Nigeria and that the Constitution protects Nigerians’ right to peaceful expression. He criticized the government’s reluctance to allow the protests, stating that it infringes upon the rights of Nigerians to freely express themselves.

Abdullahi also highlighted the Amalgamation Decree of 1914, which stipulated that the entity called Nigeria would expire after 100 years. He called for a conference to evaluate whether Nigerians have made sufficient progress in building a nation. If no consensus is reached, Abdullahi suggested that Nigerians should consider going their separate ways.
