Don’t Protest, Give Me More Time – Tinubu Begs Nigerians

The Nigerian government has received notice of a nationwide protest planned by various groups of citizens to take place from August 1 to 10, aimed at protesting the rising cost of living and economic hardship in the country. In response, President Bola Tinubu has appealed to the youths to shelve the plan and await the government’s response to their grievances.

According to sources, the President met with Information Minister Mohammed Idris on Tuesday, July 23, where he expressed his disapproval of the planned protest. Tinubu is said to have emphasized the need for patience and faith in his administration’s ability to transform Nigeria.

The President is reportedly urging the protesters to give him more time to address their concerns, rather than resorting to street protests. The government has also beefed up security measures in anticipation of the planned demonstration.

The planned protest has sparked concerns among authorities, who are working to ensure public safety and order. While the organizers of the protest have not publicly responded to the President’s appeal, it remains unclear whether they will heed his call or proceed with their planned action.

In the meantime, citizens are bracing themselves for potential disruptions and uncertainty as the situation continues to unfold.

The government’s response is being closely watched, as many Nigerians wait with bated breath for a resolution to the ongoing crisis
