Planned Nationwide Protest: Governors, senators, Rep members, ministers on the run, airport jampacked –Fayose

The younger brother of former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has raised the alarms over a sudden exodus of prominent Nigerian politicians traveling abroad, following the announcement of a nationwide protest against bad governance.

In a viral video posted on social media, Fayose criticised the mass departure of governors, senators, and other high-ranking political officeholders.

He claimed that their abrupt travel plans were a direct response to the impending demonstrations, so they want to avoid accountability.

“House of Representatives members, senators, governors, and ministers are all traveling abroad suddenly because of the protest,” Fayose stated in the video.

The protest, being organised by angry Nigerian youths and activists, aims to address widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of governance in Nigeria.

The movement has gained significant attention on social media, with many citizens voicing their support for the cause.

Fayose’s remarks have further fueled public frustration, as many Nigerians perceive the politicians’ action as an attempt to evade accountability.

“The situation at the airport has reportedly been chaotic, with increased activity as officials hastily make their way out of the country.

“As the protest date approaches, tensions continue to rise, and the government faces mounting pressure to address the grievances of its citizens,” he added.

The response from the political elites, as highlighted by Fayose, has only intensified the spotlight on the country’s leadership and their commitment to resolving Nigeria’s pressing issues.

The politicians are traveling out due to several reasons: with the planned protests and calls for accountability, some politicians might be fleeing to avoid potential arrest, or may be seeking safer environments abroad, away from potential unrest or violence.
