 Seven officers of the Citadel Grebel Community Church, formerly known as the La Terraine Assembly, passed all to the back area today, came out on a pristine baller amnitunable over the few subsidy removal, describing it as impulsive. Aside from the poor people being made to suffer for the corruption of a few powerful people benefitting from the subsidy regime, noting that the precedent should have gone after those individuals and not Nigerians. If his stage of the nation address tried to advise virtue and time, the three things that never stand still, Bakker is stated that the removal of subsidies tantamount to killing Nigerians. Mr. President, if you are truly on the side of the poor, if you are serious about the welfare of the people, if you truly want the poor to breathe as you once said, then kill corruption and not Nigerians. Fellow citizens, the rallying cry by with the same Nigerian group, Galvanized Nigerians, in January 2012 at Ghanifah Ami Park, Ojota, was killed corruption or Nigerians. This was a cry when we made it evident that our fight was not against the removal of the first subsidy, but against the corruption in the system. This was our fight when amid the threats to my life and family, right there at Ojota and live on national and international television, I called out by name those individual and corporate entities who are the allegedly ravaged nation. Mr. President, given the complexity of the Nigerian economy, we are now thoroughly convinced that your palliatives will be sufficient to cushion the effect of your policies on the Nigerian citizens. What we do know, however, is that on May 29, 2023, you swore and ought to be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. May I remind you, Mr. President, that Chapter 2, Section 14, Subsection 2, Subsection B of the Constitution states that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. Therefore, in compliance with your order of office and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, our demand on you, the current and its just current, the current occupant of the office of the President, our demand on you is the same demand that we made 11 years ago. Mr. President, kill corruption and non-Nigerians. He also spoke on Icarus' resolution to Niger's crisis. The cleric condemned the proposed military intervention in the Niger Republic by Icarus and therefore called for deep introspection on the part of African leaders. African states echo words to violate an ancient principle of diplomacy that is recognized even in the holy book that you must offer peace before declaring war. By placing military invasion on the table from the very start before subsequently exploring diplomatic options with the coup plotters in the Republic of Nigeria, President Numbu once again put a cap before the horse, thus placing Nigeria and the Subregion in a precarious situation. Truly, those that are loudest in their threats are weakest in the execution of them. Any foreign invasion to succeed in the long term, the support of the locals is essential. From the spillover effect of subsidy remover to the effect of sanctions, local support for Nigeria and our leaders among Nigerians is at an all-time low. It is therefore counterintuitive to engage in war could be a protracted conflict. This mod that Numbu led Icarus ought to have learned from the aftermath of America's invasion of Iraq in 2003. While we condemn the spate of co-debtors in West Africa, we recognize that the situation calls for deep introspection on the part of African leaders and makes even more urgent the case for good governance. The call upon Nigeria at this time is not so much to compel submission in the Subregion through the force of might, but to command alignment through exemplary governance.
