Nigerians on social media have expressed disgust at some youths protesting against the nationwide protest set to take place starting August 1, 2024.
On Sunday, July 28, 2024, a Coalition of Youth Groups held a walk to Kebbi State Government House to show support for President Bala Tinubu and Gov. Nasir Idris and to reject the nationwide protest.
According to the over 100 youth associations, the nationwide protest is being planned by faceless individuals while affirming their loyalty to the administration at the state and federal levels.
Speaking at the Government’s House in Birnin Kebbi, leader of the groups, Malam Muhammad Adamu- Kichinga, described the planned protest as hostile to the security and well-being of Nigerians.
“The situation in the country is surmountable with time, we should continue to pray for leaders to facilitate the attainment of a better nation,” he said. “Our amenable Gov. Idris, has achieved records of successes in the transformation of Kebbi in all sectors of human endeavour, we must support him to take us to the promised land. We are here to reaffirm our loyalty and cooperation to your administration, and forward the same to Mr. President, and we remain supportive to your government,” he said.
Governor Idris on his part, thanked the organisers and participants for identifying with the ideals and policies of the APC- led administration of uplifting the well-being of all citizens.
“My administration will continue to evolve more ways of youths and women empowerment towards making them self-reliant and gainfully employed. We thank all of you for your solidarity and understanding, the scheduled protest is unwarranted, and we are happy that youths in Kebbi, exempted yourselves from this misadventure. No development is possible without peace, we shall make everything humanly possible to address the challenges facing the populace.”
Videos of the Kebbi youth protest have gone viral with many Nigerians expressing their disappointments at their actions.
Many wondered their reason for embarking on a protest against the nationwide protest that seeks to fight for every Nigerian including Kebbi youths.
