Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has called on Nigerians, particularly people of Yoruba descent to steer clear of protest.
The leader of the tribal group, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, made this charge in a statement on Sunday titled, ‘A special appeal to Yoruba/ Nigerians not to participate in any protest or rallies as we go through the painful surgical solution to rescue our country from avoidable death and to restore it to the path of glory.’
Fasoranti said the prevailing economic hardship is the consequence of misgovernance by previous administrations.
He said reforms being undertaken by the incumbent are necessary in order to take the country out of the woods while urging Nigerians to be patient and bear the brunts of the policies of President Bola Tinubu.
His words, “Because great damage had been done to the country’s prosperity through the nefarious activities of the agents of darkness within the oil and financial sectors.
“These measures by the 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. It requires collective understanding and resilience from every citizen as we navigate through these challenging times.
“As the leader of Afenifere, we are actively engaging with the government at different levels to address the concerns of our people. Let us remain steadfast, patient, and united in the face of these challenges, confident that our collective resilience will pave the way for a more prosperous future,” the nonagenarian said.
