-Onu called on the government to revise its policies to address the economic struggles faced by Nigerians, particularly in light of the country’s precarious financial state.
-Onu criticized the government’s alleged attempts to suppress opposition political parties, emphasizing that a strong opposition is necessary for scrutinizing policies and ensuring democracy’s success.
-Onu also appealed to Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru to prioritize a functional educational system and reduce governance costs, urging the use of state funds for education rather than luxury spending.
