Dickson highlighted his disappointment with the coalition’s performance and its inability to fulfill their commitments to Nigerians during a recent event honoring former Minister Rotimi Amaechi’s 60th birthday.
In reference to important figures like Nasir El-Rufai, Amaechi, and Atiku Abubakar, Dickson said, “They are skilled conspirators who know how to put together coalitions to topple governments.” He underlined that the nation did not see the promised changes as a result of their activities in 2015, which led to Jonathan’s removal. “Now, eleven years later, we see no resolution of Nigeria’s pressing challenges or alleviation of poverty,” he continued.
Dickson also bemoaned the coalition’s failure to solve the problems that have beset the nation ever since they came to office. “The issues still exist even if the so-called incompetent government you overthrew has been replaced. We thought things would change, but instead we’ve seen poverty turned into a weapon,” he said. Dickson responded to Amaechi’s recent remarks regarding hunger by arguing that the former minister’s assertions reveal a deeper desire for power than for food. “When you say you’re hungry, what you’re really looking for is a return to the privileges of power, not food,” he said.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
