Nationwide Protest: Group begs Nigerian youths, others to shelve plans

An Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability, PRIFGLA, on Saturday, appealed to Nigerian youths and organizers of the proposed nationwide protest to shelve their plans and give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu time to fix the current challenges facing the nation.

A statement by the founder, Pastor Reuben Wilson, made available to DAILY POST, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, noted that though every citizen of the county has the constitutional right to embark on a peaceful protest, they should rally around the government and proffer laudable solutions and ideas on the best way forward.

Pastor Reuben claimed that President Tinubu has marshalled some life-transforming policies geared towards changing the fortunes of the people which may not be seen now but in no distant time.

He said ” Let us be patient with President Tinubu to enable him chart a positive economic blueprint to turn the socio-economic situation of the country around for good. Tinubu in his one year in office has to a large extent fulfilled most of his campaign promises to Nigerians.

“He campaigned on an eight-point agenda of tackling insecurity, boosting agricultural production for food security, economic reforms, unlocking the energy sector and diversification of the economy which are steadily being tackled.

“Therefore all these policies and programs need time to mature and yield positive dividends. Protest at this time is a distraction so Nigerians should be patient with the Renewed Hope Agenda as Mr. President is determined never to disappoint them.”
