Melaye mocked Buhari on Twitter, saying “The speech of the president made me speechless. Mennnnnn I tire oooo. Recommending panadol for cancer is suicidal.”
The former
Senator, Dino Melaye has lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari for
delivering a very poor speech, saying he was speechless.
He added that
when people feared the government, there would be tyranny and that when the
government feared the people, there would be liberty.
In his words:
“When the people fear the government, there is tyranny, but when the government
fears the people, there is liberty.”
Many
Nigerians regarded Buhari’s nationwide broadcast on Thursday as lifeless and
unsympathetic.
They were
appalled that Buhari did not make mention of the Lekki shooting, regarded as
many as ‘massacre’ of unharmed youths protesting an to SARS’ brutality.
The president
warned troublemakers to be careful as the government would defend the unity of
the nation.
Buhari
lamented wanton destruction of lives and properties, saying that as much as he
would allow democratic rights, such rights stopped when they impede on the
peace and progress of others.
He said his
timely scrapping of SARS was seen by Nigerians as a sign of weakness by his
government and warned that people should not allow themselves to be used by
subversive elements.
