Nigeria Is Now Due For A Revolution ––Speaker Tambuwal

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has said Nigeria is now due for a revolution because of endemic corruption in the country, coupled with the general disaffection of the people with the ruling elite.

OluFamous.Com observed that political offices holders in Nigeria earn much more than what senior officials in the United States take home, yet these leaders keep asking Nigerians to make sacrifices...

Tambuwal said the kind of conditions that exist, leading to revolution in other countries that are now making progress, are now widely evident in Nigeria.

The Honourable Speaker said this in Lagos on Tuesday at the 2013 Distinguished Management Lecture of the Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered) where he was invited as a guest speaker.

Tambuwal said: “The most compelling reasons for revolution throughout the ages were injustice, crushing poverty, marginalisation, rampant corruption, lawlessness, joblessness, and general disaffection with the ruling elite. You will agree with me that these describe conditions in our nation now, to a very large degree.”

“That these conditions exist is well known to all persons in authority but the results of these successive efforts have failed to yield the desired results. This therefore is the justification for the radical change from the present approach to a revolutionary one,” he stressed.
