Ogun State Governor, Prince Dàpọ̀ Abíọ́dún, asserted on Sunday that “frustrated politicians” are the driving force behind the #EndBadGovernance protest, which is rapidly gaining momentum across the nation.
He advised youths to avoid participating in the planned protest and to engage with the government constructively to address the economic challenges facing the country.
Governor Abíọ́dún made these comments during the postgraduate convocation ceremonies at Babcock University in Ilishan, Ikenne Local Government Area.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this administration has initiated a lot of interventions to cushion the effect of inflation. Recently, we’ve heard the announcement of the minimum wage. We’ve had a lot of empowerment. Student loans are being put in place. Agric and fertilizer inputs are being given to our farmers. They have provided Food items as palliatives and subsidised prices, amongst others.
“This current wave of inflation is biting everywhere. It is in the UK, US, Ghana, and Egypt. So, it is not peculiar to Nigeria alone.
“Which investor will be attracted to a nation that is under siege by protesters? Please, do not allow yourselves to be used by a so-called leaderless movement, sponsored by frustrated politicians who tried in the past and lost. We do not need protests. We must not gamble with our anarchy. Please Let us have a dialogue,” he said.
