While addressing a group of marketers, she said a government that has not spent three years in office cannot be fairly criticised, Daily Trust reported.

The president's daughter called on parents to warn their children against joining the planned hunger protest scheduled for August 1, noting, that victims of EndSARS protest are still yet to recover from the losses they incurred almost four years after.

Folashade Tinubu said:

“We should tell ourselves, our children at home and our family members that there is nothing like protest in Lagos state. It is not good. Recall the one they did before where they destroyed so many of our public assets. Do not allow your children be used to by some people who give them money to go and start fighting and destroying things.

‘’So please let us talk to ourselves. There is nothing like protest in Lagos state because the government is making us proud. They are making us proud. The state government is doing us well and for the one in the center, they just came into office. Before you say a government has not done well, you have to allow them to spend at least three years in office.”

Sowore dares Wike over protest

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Omoyele Sowore, the AAC presidential candidate in the 2023 election, disclosed that the trending hunger protest would begin in Abuja.

Sowore's declaration came a day after the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, said the Nigerian capital is not available for any protest now.

Nigerian governments, security agencies and traditional rulers have warned against the protest, citing security concerns.
