From one military regime to another, from the military to civil rule, then to another military rule, finally to this democracy. This country has never had it good in terms of governance and service delivery to the people. The only time I can say we had real civilian government was under President Shehu Shagari. Then, we had the President Olusegun Obasanjo\u2019s civilian-cum-military government. Although Obasanjo really tried, Nigeria is still in the woods.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p dir=\"auto\">Senator Fadahunsi also said the protests and raid of secret warehouses stocked with palliatives, have forced so many governors to relocate temporarily to Abuja.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201c Not just the so-called progressive states. It\u2019s almost all over. Virtually all the governors live in Abuja as if it\u2019s their constituency. Rather than sit down in their states and think creatively and execute programmes that will alleviate the sufferings of their people, they come to queue in Abuja, leaving their people to their fate. That is what led us to where we are. That is why the youths are saying enough is enough.\u201d he told \u00a0The Sun in an interview<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">He said \u201c Many of the agitators are growing old. Age is not on the side of many of them. That\u2019s why when they started this agitation on a right note, we all supported them We all said they had a good cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The former Customs officer also said there was gross abuse being perpetrated by the department\u2019s officers<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cThey (Department of Customs and Excise) have been abusing Nigerians too. They have been taking the laws into their hands. Their own problem is worse than SARS. The borders are closed against our neighbours, preventing free flow of trade between the youths of other countries and the hard-working youths of Nigeria. The Nigeria Customs Service, the Immigration Department are supposed to facilitate international trade between Nigeria and other countries. But they closed the (land) borders for almost a year now. Customs brutality under Col. Hameed Ali (incumbent Comptroller General of Customs) is worse than police brutality. It is deadlier than police brutality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, \u00a0representing Osun East Senatorial District \u00a0has described the EndSARS protest as an expression of accumulated frustration by the agitated youth of Nigeria who have been holding&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
