Protest : It's unrealistic to think Tinubu can fix Nigeria in one year - Youth group

A youth group in Ogun State has said it is unrealistic for Nigerians to expect President Tinubu to transform and repair the country in just one year.

The group, Ogun Youth Advocate for Social Development, OGYASD, explained that the country had been damaged by previous governments and needs more time to be restructured.

The leader of the group, Oluseyi Alamu, asked Nigerians to rethink their choice to protest and give the President more time.

Alamu, in a statement made available to Torizone in Abeokuta, urged the protesters to consider the potential consequences of their actions, saying that the protest may snowball into chaos.

He stressed that every Nigerian has the right to protest and freely express themselves, but the destruction of property and peace will only exacerbate the challenging situation in the country.

Alani said, "We understand that the country has been damaged by previous governments, and it's unrealistic to expect President Tinubu to repair it in just one year. However, suppressing the voices of protesters is not the solution.

"The right to protest and express oneself is a fundamental human right, and we urge President Tinubu to engage in constructive dialogue with those planning the protest to address their concerns.

"We urge those planning the protests to sheath their swords and give dialogue a chance. Destruction of property and disruption of peace will only exacerbate the already challenging situation in the country."

He however urged the President to swiftly resolve Nigerians' complaints and collaborate in creating a better Nigeria for everybody.
