A REBUTTAL TO THE MISGUIDED ACCLAIM: A CALL FOR PERSPECTIVE
By Agu Chineme from Enugu.
Perusing a recent publication, I chanced upon a declaration that left me aghast: "Igbo Youths Hail Tinubu on the Fuel Pump Price." This assertion is not only bemusing but also a stark reflection of the pervasive acquiescence that has beset our collective psyche.

While it is true that the current economic hardship has spared no ethnic group, the Igbo youths' seeming resignation to their fate is predicated on a fundamental premise: that the Nigerian populace was presented with a binary choice between good governance and bad governance, and, regrettably, opted for the latter.
In their view, the dividends of good governance have already been procured on their behalf, rendering protests and demonstrations redundant. This acquiescent mindset is encapsulated in their mantra: "We all have to manage."
Since the ascension of Tinubu to the presidency, I have refrained from lamenting our collective fate. Why? Because when the leadership is misguided, the populace can only adapt. Nigeria had the opportunity to elect a visionary leader in Obi but dismissed him as immature. Now, they must endure the consequences of their choice.
Our Igbo youths' supplication is that God grant our president the vitality and longevity to complete his two terms in office, thereby ensuring a semblance of stability. Congratulations, Nigerians, on your choice.
May this serve as a clarion call for introspection and a reevaluation of our priorities.
