August 1 : Shelve Planned Protest -Tinubu Begs Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to shelve planned protests against bad governance in the country, slated for August 1.
The appeal was made known by Information Minister Mohammed Idris, who briefed State House correspondents after a meeting with the President on Tuesday.
Idris said Tinubu urged the organisers of the protest to shelve the plan and await the President’s response to their complaints.
“The issue of the planned protest, Mr President does not see any need for that. He’s asked them to shelve that plan. He’s asked them to await the government’s response to all their pleas,” the minister said.
The protest against economic hardship, which is gaining traction on social media, has been scheduled to hold across all states of the Federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, starting from August 1.
The prices of food and basic commodities have gone through the roof in the last months Blaze Newz gathered.
Many Nigerians currently are battling one of the country’s worst inflation and economic crisis sparked by the government’s twin policies of petrol subsidy removal and unification of forex windows.
