A US born Kano state Indigene Dr Bello Galadanci, known as Dan Bello, has accused President Bola Tinubu of bringing economic policies that led to widespread hunger in the country.
Speaking on Trust TV, Dan Bello challenged the government to sue him if displeased with his criticism.
He said, “If what I’m doing is not good for them, that means that it is automatically good for the people.”
He added that the current policies were leading to severe hardship, with people struggling for basic necessities.
“The ruling party has enacted policies that are making people hungry. People are dying. People are eating grass right now. People are drinking contaminated water.”
Bello highlighted that the issues were not natural disasters but results of poor governance. “This is not a natural disaster, rainfall or a tsunami. These are from policies that can be avoidable.”
He expressed frustration over the government’s reaction to the criticism, suggesting that their focus on large-scale projects and personal gain neglects the people’s suffering. “Now they are unhappy because they are getting themselves billions of naira and doing all kinds of bogus projects.”
Bello ended by urging the government to take action against him if they wished, stating that such responses only affirm the value of his work. “Yes, I want them to be unhappy. I want them to go to court. I want them to sue and do anything they can so that we can keep quiet. That means our work is getting better and better.”
