A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo State, Uche Nwosu, has called on the promoters of the nationwide planned mass protest scheduled for August 1st, to shelve the idea in the interest of the nation’s stability.
Nwosu , a former Chief of Staff to former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, appealed in Abuja on Thursday. “Let me use this opportunity to appeal to our beloved Nigerian youths to give peace a chance. “We are indeed passing through hard times in our dear nation, but we cannot give up like those who do not have hope,” he said. He admitted that in a democracy, citizens have the right to protest, adding that most often, the protests in Nigeria with 250 ethnic groups do not end well.
He cited the 2020 EndSars protest, which according to him, was being hijacked by people who do not mean well for the country, adding that at the end of the day, properties worth billions of Naira and many lives were lost. He said, “Yes, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies and reforms might be harsh now but at the end of every tunnel, there will be light. “He is barely a year in office now.
