THE ONGOING DEBATE ON POWER ROTATION IN THE COUNTRY AHEAD OF THE 2027 ELECTIONS HAS DRAWN STIFF RESISTANCE FROM THE PUBLIC.
APPEARING ON A TELEVISED PROGRAM, HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER, FEMI FALANA CONDEMNED THE PROPOSAL, DESCRIBING SUCH CONVERSATIONS AS A DIVERSION FROM THE COUNTRY’S REAL AND URGENT CHALLENGES.
EMPHASIZING THAT THIS WILL ONLY SERVE TO DISTRACT FROM MORE PRESSING ISSUES LIKE INSECURITY, HUNGER, AND INFRASTRUCTURE DECAY, FALANA STATED THAT WHAT NIGERIA NEEDS IS NOT A FIXATION ON ROTATIONAL POLITICS OR TERM LIMITS, BUT A UNITED EFFORT TO ADDRESS THE COUNTRY’S DEEP-ROOTED STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS.
SPEAKING FURTHER, THE S.A.N URGED POLITICAL LEADERS TO FOCUS THEIR ENERGIES ON POLICIES THAT DIRECTLY IMPROVE THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF NIGERIANS, RATHER THAN ENGAGE IN WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS ELITE POWER GAMES THAT HAVE LITTLE BEARING ON THE DAILY STRUGGLES OF THE POPULATION.
