Senator from northern region urges youths to exercise restraint in #EndBadGovernance protests

The Northern Senators Forum has appealed to Nigerian youths to exercise restraint amid the ongoing protests in the country.

The Forum’s chairman, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’adua, made the call in a letter addressed to the youths and presented to journalists on Saturday in Abuja.

The #EndBadGovernance protests organised by several Nigerian citizen groups to express their discontent over hunger and other social challenges caused by the Tinubu administration’s policy initiatives have been marred by violence that has left scores dead and properties destroyed in many states across the country.

At least four states, including Kano and Borno, have imposed curfews after rioters hijacked peaceful protests in the states.

The letter read: “I write to you today as Chair of the Northern Senators Forum, with a deep sense of concern and hope for the future of our great country.

“While it is your democratic right to peacefully protest to express your demands, it is equally important to recognize that most protests end in violence.”

“Therefore, I would like to invite protesters across the country to reflect on what happened on the first day of the protests.”

Yar’adua said President Bola Tinubu was aware of the challenges facing Nigerians and was working tirelessly to address them.
