But I don\u2019t subscribe to the point that we need a revolution or anything. We need a change of government, the democratic change of government, so that we can have a change of policy. Even before we have a change of government in 2027, I am more interested in the government of the day having a change of policy, and it has been their policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur problems are not difficult to solve. If anyone comes to me today and says, let\u2019s do a revolution in Nigeria, I will say, don\u2019t do anything like that. Just make simple changes. You don\u2019t need the Arab Spring. You don\u2019t need any of those things. What you need is a more accountable government, a government that is more responsive and is smarter in the management of our resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need an improvement over what President Tinubu is doing. He\u2019s doing something but he is not doing enough and he cannot. He\u2019s not working at the rate, which can answer the needs of the people. But there is nothing the government is doing that\u2019s illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional, that you want to do revolution against them. You just need to keep pointing out the weaknesses in their policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real money that President Tinubu as a tax collector is looking for lies in the muscle and the brain of the young people who are not employed now. So we must do a budget that allows them to get employed. By the time we get people employed, Vice President Atiku will not see anybody to join his revolution. People will be at work, working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
