The coalition of Civil Society Organizations in Osun has called on the government to demand a better society, where equity, fairness and prosperity for all is guaranteed.
The group emphasized on the significance of June 12th 1993 presidential annulment and how it has altered and denied Nigerians the government that would have ensured prosperity and life more abundant for all.
They furthered lamented on how the late MKO manifesto which has provision of basic positions amenities and mass prosperity are still elusive after 31 years and Nigeria’s rulers across the divide appear to have learned nothing and forgotten everything which unfortunately for decades has led to bad governance by unpatriotic and self-centred elite, military and civilian leadership that cut across all tribes and religions.
“Currently, Nigerians are going through worsening economic hardship that is creating more poverty and penury. The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through its World Bank and IMF teleguided economic policies have continued to unleash hardship on Nigerians. The removal of subsidy, increment in electricity tariff and devaluation of Naira have cast a shadow over the economic stability of Nigeria; and this is hampering productivity and killing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, taking away the purchasing power of the Nigerian people, creating hunger, starvation and skyrocketing foodstuffs and essential commodities prices, among other woes”
The group used the June 12 Democracy Day to urge the President Tinubu to get descend from the ladder of the World Bank, IMF and other international institutions influencing his government. Mr President, please save the country and Nigerians from the unleashed hunger and poverty.
