It's Too Early To Protest Against Tinubu’s Govt - OGYASD Tells Nigerians

…tells FG To Address the yearnings of Nigeria to advert planned protest

The Ogun Youth Advocate for Social Development (OGYASD) has called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the grievances of Nigerians to prevent a planned nationwide protest. 

The group's president, Comrade Oluseyi Alamu, made the appeal in a statement issued in Abeokuta over the weekend, stressing the need  for dialogue between the government and potential protesters.

Alamu noted that every Nigerian has the right to protest and freely express themselves, adding that such rights must not be suppressed.

"The right to protest and express oneself is a fundamental human right, and we urge President Tinubu to engage in constructive dialogue with those planning the protest to address their concerns.

 "We understand that the country has been damaged by previous governments, and it's unrealistic to expect President Tinubu to repair it in just one year. However, suppressing the voices of protesters is not the solution.

Alamu also appealed to the protesters to consider the potential consequences of their actions, saying that the protest may snowball into chaos. 

"We urge those planning the protests to sheath their swords and give dialogue a chance. Destruction of property and disruption of peace will only exacerbate the already challenging situation in the country."

He added, "We believe that President Tinubu has the capacity to address the grievances of Nigerians, and we urge him to do so promptly. Let us work together to build a better Nigeria for all."
