Don’t join protests against FG, Tinubu- Afenifere
The leader of pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and political organisation, Afenifere Chief Reuben Fasoranti has urged Nigerians not to join any protest against President Bola Tinubu’s administration due to current economic challenges.
He urged all to exercise patience and refrain from engaging in protests or actions that might escalate tensions.
A statement by Fasoranti made available by the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Comrade Jare Ajayi, said the country is going through painful surgical solutions which will rescue it from total collapse and restoration to the path of glory.
He said: “As the National Leader of Afenifere, and leader of the Yoruba, I address all and sundry today with a deep understanding of the challenges facing our dear country at this critical time.
“The outcry over the hardship, hunger, and price hikes is not unexpected, yet we must come to terms with the realities of our national challenges which the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is striving to resolve.
“While acknowledging the hardships faced by our people, it is important to recognise that these economic measures, although difficult, are part of a larger strategy aimed at fostering long-term economic stability.
“The government’s commitment to implementing these measures is a testament to its dedication to addressing the root causes of our economic challenges, inherited from the ills of the previous years.
“As a responsible leader, I appeal to every Yoruba man and woman, young and old, and our fellow citizens across the nationalities, to exercise patience and refrain from engaging in protests or actions that may escalate tensions”.
Fasoranti pointed out the immediate impact of the economic reforms would always be challenging to everyone, adding that it would be crucial to give government necessary time to realise the intended benefits.
He said measures being taken by Federal Government, though painful in the short term, are designed to create a more sustainable economic environment that will benefit us all in the long run.
