Amid the looming nationwide protest scheduled to hold in August against the prevailing hardship in the country, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, has issued a strong warning to Nigerians against the plan.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, said Nigerians don’t want to see a repeat of the #EndSARS protest.
He also stated that President Bola Tinubu’s government would not sit back and allow the protest to happen.
He said: “There is nothing wrong with a peaceful demonstration and a lawful, legitimate protest. What is unacceptable is a premeditated attempt by a group of faceless individuals who are on the payroll of subversive elements to destabilize the country and incite people to violence and carnage.”
“Those behind it are attempting to take advantage of the undoubtedly enormous economic challenges in the land to create panic, fear, chaos, and mass unrest with a view to provoking anarchy, mayhem, and armed insurrection.”
“This is unacceptable, and no responsible government will sit back and allow it to happen.”
“We do not want or need a nationwide #EndSARS-like round of protests, and neither can we afford the attendant violence, strife, division, damage to property, and bloodshed that comes with it.”
“Anything outside of that will be dangerous and counter-productive.”
