Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has said he was left shocked by President Bola Tinubu\u2019s broadcast to the nation on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Momodu said the President failed to address the demands of ongoing protesters across the country.<\/p>\n

Tinubu addressed Nigerians on Sunday, three days after the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests started.<\/p>\n

The protesters had made several demands, including a return of fuel subsidies, improvements in living standards, cuts in the cost of governance, reduction in electricity tariffs, and solutions to escalating insecurity, among others.<\/p>\n

Reacting to Tinubu\u2019s broadcast, Momodu said, \u201cAfter the long-awaited speech of President Bola Tinubu eventually came this morning, I\u2019m sure most of you would be as stupefied as me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must confess that I had little hope of Tinubu granting some concessions to the aggrieved Nigerians. As a man who has held an iron grip on Lagos State for the last 25 years, it would be difficult for him to change a winning formula that has worked for him ever since.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, what did we expect his advisers to be telling him when most of them have been his most fanatical cronies from Lagos who have learnt never to challenge the master?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it was merely wishful thinking on the part of incurable optimists like me to think he was going to have mercy on hapless and seemingly helpless Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n
