No protest will hold in South-west — Afenifere youths

In a counter-response to the proposed planned protest to be organised nationwide by some groups, the Yoruba Afenifere Youth Organisation of Nigeria (YAYON) has reiterated its utmost support for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government.

This is contained in a statement released by the YAYON to declare unwavering support on behalf of the youth group for Tinubu.

According to them, the government, in the space of one year, has been able to deliver transformative policies that would better the lives of the people and, most importantly, the youths of the country. Hence, any form of protest at this moment is seen as a means to distract the government.

“No protest will hold in the South West. If you see any Nigerians coming out to protest now, they are lazy people and sponsored by the opposing party. This is not the right time to protest. Mr President is really working to make changes, and you people are here to distract him.

“The government is just one year old, and as youths, we can attest to the policies that have been brought forward to better people’s lives.

“The student loan programme and the recent local government autonomy jab on the governors are pointers to the fact that this government is truly here to renew our hope.

“So, all we should do at this moment is ensure that we render our unwavering support for those policies and programmes to be effectively implemented rather than allow us to be used as tools of distraction.

“Therefore, we urged Nigerians to exercise patience and give President Tinubu the opportunity to fulfil his promises.”
