Famous Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has urged President Buhari to listen to the agitations of the people and grant the process of referendum for the zones that want to separate from Nigeria.
The socio-political commentator, took to her official page on Twitter to petition the President to go ahead and grant secessionists what they want for peace to prevail in the nation.
In her words:
“What will it cost Buhari to champion this referendum? Get the people working on it to quell the agitations. Get to hear from everyone and know if it is the wish of the people or just tyranny of the vocal minority. Plus there is no way it can be fully achieved in the 2 years remaining.
“When you are leading people you have to be pragmatic. It is give and take! Always let the people feel they have the upper hand. Stoop low to them.
“They are yearning for referendum and separation, put it in motion and you take the fire off them. Opposition ignites the fire,”
It could be recalled that a few months ago, Aisha Yesufu berated Buhari over the way his administration is handling the upsurge of abductions in the country.
Speaking to Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, 2nd July, Aisha Yesufu, when queried about her view on the assurance President Buhari gave Nigerians about the actions taken to rescue all those who have been abducted by Boko Haram hinted that Nigerians have lost confidence in the words of the president.
Captured in a report by Akahinewsng, Aisha Yesufu said;
“We are used to a president whose words mean nothing. He says one thing, and another thing happens,”.
