Shettima: Leaders Could Run Away In Face Of Ongoing Protests

Shettima’s comments follow the recent #EndBadGovernance protests, which he believes have exposed the inadequacies of regional leadership. He warned that some leaders might flee due to growing public awareness of their power and sovereignty.

“The current situation is a result of artificial poverty created by shortsighted leaders in the North,” Shettima stated. He questioned the effectiveness of the numerous governors and senators in the region, pointing out their failure to enact beneficial laws and their involvement in corruption. “It is unacceptable that billions are embezzled while the region suffers.”

Shettima stressed that the people have now realized their power to challenge the status quo, emphasizing that leaders must adapt to this new reality. He called for leaders to engage with the public and ensure better governance, warning that continued failure might lead to leaders abandoning their posts.

He urged political leaders to remember that their role is to serve the people, not rule over them. “Being a governor doesn’t make you a king. You are a servant of the people who have entrusted you with their sovereignty,” he said. Shettima criticized leaders for failing to address essential needs such as education, which he believes is crucial for societal stability and peace.

To address the ongoing issues, Shettima proposed both immediate and long-term solutions. He recommended declaring a state of emergency on insecurity to restore safety and enable farming in the North. He also emphasized the importance of education and technological advancement in agriculture to empower citizens and improve self-sufficiency.

“Declaring a state of emergency on insecurity would allow people to return to farming and give them hope,” Shettima concluded. “Education and modern farming technologies should be prioritized to enhance productivity and governance.
