President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to shelve a planned ‘EndBadGovernance’ protest slated for next month.
There have been reports that some Nigerians, under various bodies, are planning a nationwide protest between August 1 and 10 against the rising cost of living and the economic hardship in the country.
This development has prompted police and other security operatives to be on red alert over the planned nationwide protest.
Tinubu urged youths to keep faith and believe in the ability of his administration to transform Nigeria.
Information Minister, Mohammed Idris, spoke to journalists after a meeting with the President on Tuesday, July 23.
Idris explained that Tinubu urged the organisers of the protest to shelve the plan and await the President’s response to their complaints.
He said: “The issue of the planned protest, Mr President does not see any need for that. He’s asked them to shelve that plan. He’s asked them to await the government’s response to all their pleas. He has listened to them.
“Young people should listen to the president, and allow him more time.”
