Political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, expressed concern on Friday over the state’s panic regarding the planned protest scheduled to start on August 1, disclosing that it shows that something was wrong.

Some youths are mobilizing to protest against the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu over hardship, extreme hunger and general poor governance which have made life unbearable for many Nigerians. However, Tinubu, State Governors, lawmakers, top government officials and other people who are aligned with the government have been calling on the youths to suspend the protest.
Speaking at the launch of ‘The New Tribe,’ Utomi pointed out that during military regimes, protests were a regular occurrence.
“For us to now get all wound up that some unknown people are planning a protest shows that something has gone fundamentally wrong with the nature of the connection between the state and society,” he said.
Utomi highlighted the current state of the nation as dire, noting that the fear of an impending protest has led to unnecessary panic, threats, and misinformation. He criticized the state’s reaction as a sign of deeper issues within the nation’s governance and societal values.
