EndBadGovernmentProtest: Akinsanya engage stakeholders, Urges youths to embrace dialogue
The executive Chairman of Igando - Ikotun LCDA, Hon. Lasis Ayinde Akinsanya has asked parents to warn their children against taking part in the nationwide protest, urged youth to shelve their plans and eschew any form of proposed rage, anarchy, and spoliation.
According to the Chairman, during a stakeholders meeting with Oba's , religion leaders, Security operatives , CDAs, youth and NURTW members, the protest bore the semblance of the EndSARS saga and the Kenya scenario.
He said it was the right of citizens to demonstrate against certain government’s actions, but implored the organiser to explore other means to demand answers to the problems in the country in the interest of peace.
Hon. Akinsanya appealed to youths to seek a more peaceful option and approach that will promote development, national peace and political stability.
The chairman urged Nigerians to be more patient with government, stressing that all indications point in the direction of improved economy that will alleviate the challenges of the people.
He said President Bola Tinubu administration has beautiful plans to improve the living conditions of the people but sought the understanding of Nigerians, saying Rome was not built in a day.
"We should all avoid a protest that could lead to destruction of lives and property as this might worsen out economic situation. The EndSARS protest that was hijacked by hoodlums is still fresh in our memories.”
Community Development Committee chairman, Pastor Samuel Ojo and DPO Ikotun police division, CSP Adolf Ugwu advised parents and guardians to keep watchful eyes on their Children and wards to prevail on them, not to any unlawful protest in the state as law enforcement agencies would be out to deal ruthlessly with trouble makers under whatever.
Representative of National Youth Council of Nigeria, Kolade Abdul Ganiu and NURTW chairman Sunday Ogunleye pledged to advocate against violent protests in the council area and support the chairman efforts.
