Akpabio Warns Nigerians Against Supporting Destructive Protests By 2023 Election Losers

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians, especially the youth, to steer clear of the upcoming nationwide protest.

While acknowledging that peaceful protests are a constitutional right, Akpabio warned that the planned demonstrations could escalate into violence, potentially leading to property destruction and destabilization of the country. He emphasized that the current challenges faced by Nigeria are the result of long-term neglect by previous administrations, not the fault of the current government.

Akpabio praised the Tinubu administration for its efforts to address these issues and urged Nigerians to give the government time to produce results. He encouraged the youth to reject any attempts to create chaos and focus on personal and community development instead of engaging in destructive activities.

“I want to remind those inciting trouble that while you have the right to protest, it should not be used as an excuse to destabilize the country,” Akpabio said. “The right to protest does not include the right to unleash violence.”

He criticized the faceless instigators of the planned protests, suggesting their true aim might be looting and chaos. Akpabio also pointed out that the current situation is the result of years of insecurity and that the administration is making efforts to address these issues, including removing restrictions on food imports and offering waivers.

The Senate President called on the youth to resist being misled by those who did not succeed in the 2023 elections and to avoid contributing to any form of anarchy. “Destruction of property is costly, and we should invest in development rather than in rebuilding,” he concluded.
