The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II has urged the proponents of the nationwide protest against the Federal Government over the economic hardship in the country to shelve the proposed protest.
The Benin Monarch made the appeal in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Osaigbobo Iguobaro and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Benin City. The monarch, however, advised aggrieved Nigerians to give the federal government enough time to implement its economic policy, which is expected to alleviate the present hardship being experienced by Nigerians .
recalls that some youths had proposed August 1, 2024, to begin a 10-day nationwide hunger and hardship protests to draw the federal and state government’s attention to the worsening situations in the country. He said the Oba opined that for things to get better, it has to be tough for a while. He, however, appealed to the federal government to intensify efforts in the implementation of its economic and security policies.
