Comrade Israel Joe, a human rights activist has claimed that many Nigerian politicians have made arrangements to fly out of Nigeria before the planned nationwide protest slated for August 1.
In a post on his official Facebook page, activist Joe said the National Assembly had taken a sudden break.
“All the politicians in Nigeria are scared of protest. National Assembly have taken a break. Majority of the politicians have booked their flight out of the country all before 1st of August,” he said.
“The leaders are the cause of the problems they are running away from. A lot of youth leaders have come out to denounce and distanced themselves from the protest but they can’t even get close to the venue of any protest ground.
“The hungry Nigerians would teach them a lesson. They can only be in their houses observing from afar because make who get mind come stop the anger in the youths.
“Until hunger is addressed, anger is inevitable in Nigeria. The leaders are not aware that Nigerians have gotten to the biblical point of “If I perish I perish.”
