In a statement released on Sunday by Amb. Suleiman who doubles as the State Coordinator, North Central APC State Youth Leaders Forum wrote: “We must always remember that we have no other country but Nigeria. Away from it, our status changes from being owners of the most populous black nation on Earth to mere “foreigners.” We must protect it at all costs. Anything less would be a great disservice not only to our country but to the generations yet unborn.

He acknowledged that the struggle and undeniable socioeconomic challenges caused by the removal of fuel subsidies and other related policies by the president’s government have led to calls for a nationwide protest tagged “EndBadGovernanceProtest.”

He said: “While this is a concern, the planned mass appeal, which is our constitutional right, comes at a time when our frustrations and grievances are immeasurable.

“I am certain you agree that our collective emotions could easily escalate into violence with any small confrontation by law enforcement or be hijacked by “shadows” who are enemies of Nigeria, much like the hijackers of the “#EndSARSProtest.” That protest initially intended to end the brutality of SARS police officers, turned into a theatre of destruction, claiming innocent lives and causing property damage worth billions of Naira in Abuja and Lagos State.

“Recent events in both new and conventional media show President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, engaging with religious and traditional leaders. This is a clear indication that our cries are not only being heard but are being strongly communicated. Therefore, on behalf of the State Youth Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North Central Region of Nigeria, I urge you all to explore more effective means of bringing the central government to agree with our terms. Let’s put the protest slated for August to rest completely in the interest of all Nigerians, particularly the innocent ones.

“We ask this of you as we mobilize key government officials in charge of the youth constituency for a roundtable discussion. Our goal is to articulate and advance our grievances before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for a possible solution.
