In a similar Tweet, the former lawmaker commented on the state of the country, particularly the widening issues of insecurity, and ASUU strike among others, adding that Nigeria appears the African version of Ukraine presently.

“National grid on the verge of collapse, airlines companies to shut down in three days, terrorists on killing spree and then ASUU…we are just the African version of Ukraine at the moment and further stressed the lack of sincerity by the federal government as the main factor responsible for the unfortunate trend.
