A youth group in Ogun State, called the Ogun Youth Advocate for Social Development (OGYASD), says it is unrealistic to expect President Tinubu to fix Nigeria in just one year. According to the group, previous governments have caused significant damage to the country, and it will take more time to make meaningful changes.
The group’s leader, Oluseyi Alamu, asked Nigerians to reconsider their decision to protest and to give the President more time. In Abeokuta, Alamu urged protesters to think about the potential consequences of their actions, warning that protests could lead to chaos.
Alamu emphasized that every Nigerian has the right to protest and express themselves. However, he also pointed out that destroying property and disturbing the peace will only make the situation worse. He 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 youth group urged President Tinubu to engage in constructive dialogue with protesters to address their concerns. They called on those planning the protests to put their plans on hold and give dialogue a chance. Destruction and disruption will only add to the country’s challenges.
Finally, Alamu urged the President to quickly address Nigerians’ complaints and work together to create a better Nigeria for everyone.
