The Federal government has begged Nigerians not to embark on the nationwide protest slated for Thursday, August 1.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, made the plea at a world press conference held on Wednesday, in Abuja, attended by key Federal government functionaries.
Akume said that protest was not the solution to the challenges, which the administration was working tirelessly to solve.
He pointed out that; “Economic prosperity for the nation remains the ultimate goal of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Meanwhile, the Yoruba Union, known as Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorúbá, says the group must protest.
In a statement by the convener, Olusola Oluwaseyi Badero, the Yoruba Union called on people in the South West to come out en masse from August 1st to 10th to peacefully demonstrate and demand their needs.
The body said, “We have mobilised our lawyers throughout the South West region to monitor our people. If anything happens to the Yoruba people, President Tinubu, along with all the South West governors will be held responsible.
