Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has pleaded with Nigerians and the people of the state to exercise more patience with the administration of President Bola Tinubu, saying there will be positive outcomes in the future.
Aiyedatiwa, who stated this in Akure, the Ondo state capital, while meeting some All Progressives stakeholders, said Tinuni has beautiful plans to improve the living conditions of the people.
He expressed confidence in the ability to turn around the nation’s fortune but sought the understanding of Nigerians, saying Rome was not built in a day.
The Ondo governor appealed to the sponsors of the nationwide protest to seek a more peaceful option and approach that will promote development, national peace, and political stability.
He, however, identified the steps taken by the organisers as part of the right of the citizenry to drive home their demands but called on them to be conscious of the potential risks it portends for the country.
The governor said, ” It is still within their right to protest, but I want to appeal to Nigerians, especially the youths, to give peace a chance. They should give the president time to concentrate on turning around the fortune of the country.
“Development thrives in a peaceful environment; let us all be united and collectively tackle the prevailing economic hardship confronting the nation.
“We should all avoid a protest that could lead to the destruction of lives and property, as this might worsen our economic situation. The EndSARS protest that was hijacked by hoodlums is still fresh in our memories.
“Hoodlums can hijack a peaceful protest and turn it into a bloody one; the consequences of this will add salt to injury as hoodlums might take advantage to destroy public assets.”
“I want to appeal to Ondo State youths not to participate in the protest because governments at all levels are working hard to implement policies that would give lasting solutions to the hardship in the country.
“The government has been engaging with stakeholders and government officials to ensure that the issue is resolved.
“The President has been meeting with all key stakeholders, and here in Ondo State, we have also been meeting with stakeholders to make life comfortable for the people of our dear state.”
