Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has said that the planned nationwide protest is not the solution to the country’s economic hardship. The governor instead urged people to turn to God, repent, seek for forgiveness and divine intervention on the challenges.
He spoke on Monday during a town hall with 27 groups in Dutse, Namadi urging the protesters to have a rethink. The meeting had in attendance the Nigeria Labour Congress , the Christian Association of Nigeria , while the National Association of Nigerian Students , reportedly distanced themselves from the proposed protest. Namadi expressed regret over the economic hardship and asked the public to view their predicament as “a trial from God”.
“But, protest is not the solution,” NAN quoted Namadi as saying. “There are many ways people could express their grievances; people are at liberty to display their grievances through protest under democratic dispensation, but that is not the most effective way to address the problems. “The protest alone will not provide the solutions; people should turn to God, repent, seek for forgiveness and divine intervention on the challenges.
