President Bola Tinubu has appealed to the protesting youths to suspend all forms of protest across the country, saying that his government proffers solutions to the country’s challenges.
The President made the call in a live broadcast to the nation on the ongoing protest by Youth on the challenges facing Nigerians says he is deeply concerned by the bloodshed in some states.
He said: “I speak to you today with a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility, aware of the turmoil and violent protests unleashed in some of our states.
He acknowledges that the protesters were young Nigerians who desired a better and more progressive country where their dreams, hopes, and personal aspirations would be fulfilled.
According to him “I am especially pained by the loss of lives in Borno, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna and other states, the destruction of public facilities in some states, and the wanton looting of supermarkets and shops, contrary to the promise of protest organisers that the protest would be peaceful across the country. The destruction of properties sets us back as a nation, as scarce resources will be again used to restore them.”
He assures the Youth and all Nigerians that help is on the way and that what the present administration is doing is geared towards addressing decades of economic anomalies.
