Nationwide Protest: Atiku sends urgent message to Tinubu

Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, called the current nationwide protest against the nation’s economic hardships “significant.”

This is in addition to his admonition to the Nigerian government to listen to the people and get off its high horse, saying that the time has come to show that it is genuinely committed to meeting the demands of the protesters.

According to Atiku, the protest has created an important avenue for the public to voice their criticism of governmental policy.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in the last general election, stated in a post on his X Twitter on Friday that protesters had behaved in an admirably peaceful manner and that they should be applauded for their self-control and commitment.

Additionally, he asked the security services to locate and detain the minority elements who are resorting to violence and looting.

Atiku’s words: “The commencement of public protests across the country yesterday is noteworthy. These demonstrations have opened a vital channel for the public to express disapproval of government policies, furthering the essential conversation about good governance in our nation.

“For the most part, protesters have conducted themselves with admirable peace and must be commended for their restraint and dedication. However, in some isolated instances, there have been reports of violence, leading to regrettable clashes and brutalities by the police.

“I urge the protesters to maintain their peaceful stance and call on more Nigerians to show solidarity and support for the #EndBadGovernance peaceful protest. This is a pivotal moment for our collective voice to be heard, and it must be done with dignity and respect for the law.

“I also call on the police to engage more professionally in managing these protests. The needless killing of innocent citizens by security agencies is unacceptable. The police must refrain from the molestation of journalists who are merely reporting the protest. It is imperative that security agencies exercise restraint while enforcing law and order.

“Security agencies are encouraged to identify and isolate the minority elements who are resorting to violence and looting, ensuring that the actions of a few do not tarnish the majority of peaceful protesters.

“To the government, I admonish you to heed the voices of the people and come down from your high horses. It is time to demonstrate a sincere commitment to addressing the demands of the protesters. The nation cannot afford further days of unrest; let this be the moment where leadership listens and acts with integrity and urgency. -AA”
