Nigeria Minister Calls Protesters ‘desperado’ Politicians by sammyzacks(m): 8:06am On Jan 12, 2010
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Information and Communication has called Tuesday’s planned demonstration against what organizers describe as a power vacuum “a desperate act.”
Aliyu Bilbis said the protest, which will reportedly be addressed by Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, is irrelevant.
“It is just a pity people like Soyinka will involve themselves with this kind of desperado politicians who do not have a base, who do not have any basis. If you remember, these are the people who are basing the reason or their excuse on a constitutional provision of section 142 and 125, when they tried (and) they could not penetrate,” he said.

They won’t make any meaningful insight… These are people who are not able to deliver their wards (win elections). You will be surprised to know that today there are a number of students who will also be in the streets praying, calling for Nigerians to pray for Mr. President for a quick recovery. You can see how irrelevant their so-called protest will make,” Bilbis said.

“One thing they should understand is that we will continue to tell the whole world, not only Nigerians that Mr. President is recovering. He is in the hospital. He is resting… I want to assure you very soon, Mr. President will come back to this country and continue the good work he started in this country. These are people seeking relevance at any given time. They always want to raise dust where there is no dust,” Bilbis said.

Even if it's a desperate act, it is a step in the right direction. We must learn to speak up.

This Bilbis of a guy is nothing but a big F.O.O.L.
So if it takes the president a year to recover, Nigerians should fold their arms and watch things go wrong as it is at the moment.
