JUST-IN: Shelve Planned Protest -Tinubu Appeals To Nigerian Youths
President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to abort planned protests against bad governance in the country, scheduled for next month.
Tinubu’s appeal was disclosed by the Minister of Information Mohammed Idris, who briefed State House correspondents after a meeting with the President on Tuesday.
According to him, President Tinubu urged the organisers of the protest to shelve the plan and await the President’s response to their complaints.
The minister 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,”.
The protest against economic hardship, which is gaining traction on social media, has been scheduled to hold across all states of the Federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, starting from August 1.
