Stop planned nationwide protest against Tinubu, APC warns

The North Central All Progres­sives Congress (APC) Forum has warned all the groups plan­ning to protest across the nation against President Bola Tinubu to retrace their steps, saying that such decision will be inimical to the progress of the country at this critical moment

Speaking with newsmen in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Monday, the forum’s Chair­man, Alhaji Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, said President Tinubu is trying his best to reposition the country and redirect it to the path of greatness, and so all he requires now is support rather than distraction in the name of any protest.

According to him, those call­ing for protest are not doing so for the love of the country, but for their own selfish reasons and cheap political points.

He noted that they are being sponsored by forces that are enemies of the country and the government.

The chairman strongly sent a note of warning to the protesters not to contemplate staging it in the North Central region, saying that the region and the North by extension is currently going through security challenges which the president is trying tire­lessly to tackle through the gains made by the security operatives.

He said any protest in the region could be high-jacked by hoodlums to cause mayhem and threaten lives and property of law abiding citizens.

He also mentioned that the kidnappings, banditry and oth­er things the region is going through, noting that the region cannot afford to have another reactiveness added to it.

“Example of such protest which often turn violent and take an ethno-religious crisis is that of the #EndSARS protest across the country which took such dimen­sion in Jos, the Plateau State capi­tal, and we have to do a lot to tame it.

“I, alongside other eminent persons in Jos, went around calming the people down and to stop the violence, and we ensured that Christians are protected in Muslim areas and vice versa and thereafter handed them to the police to unite them with their families safely,” he said.
