Organizers Of ‘Hunger Protest’ Seeking To Remove ‘Elected Govt’ Through The Backdoor-Ex-Gov Jolly Nyame
Those who are planning to begin a nationwide hunger protest in the country on August 1,2024, are planning to remove a democratically elected government through the back door , a prominent politician in the country, Mr. Jolly Nyame , submitted on Sunday.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Jolly Nyame, a one-time governor of Taraba state, said this while addressing Yoro youths and community leaders at the Catholic Pastoral Centre in Jalingo on Sunday.
He warned Nigerian youths against the planned nationwide protest submitting that the outcome may be difficult to contain, considering the challenges facing the country.
‘We are all aware of the plan by some Nigerians to vent their anger on the government by agreeing to a national protest or a shutdown. I must admit that in view of certain policies and long-standing national issues, the government should take the blame for some of the problems affecting our nation.
However, we as Nigerians must examine our actions in the face of this unfortunate situation, to see whether or not we have contributed positively or otherwise in our various walks of life, to this situation.
Whereas every Nigerian has the right to complain or protest against bad governance, the language employed by the planners is threatening, divisive and clearly aims at removing a democratically elected government.
For this reason, I must warn you against joining the so-called National citizens protest being planned against the Government under the guise of advocating for good governance’ he said.
Nyame also warned that the protest can only worsen the situation and endanger the lives of thousands of people noting that there is already a constitutional means of removing a bad government through the ballot box and not brigandage and terrorism.
‘As you all know, Yoro is a peaceful and hard-working nation, with the people engaged in various noble means of livelihood, like farming. Indeed, we are among the largest producers of yams and other food items in Nigeria. We are not an idling society in which people engage in all types of vices for survival. We have no time to waste for a national protest that can only promote destruction’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
