Onitiri has warned that an army of hoodlums may hijack the August 1st protest and truncate democracy in Nigeria.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that renowned socio-political activist and critic, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri has expressed fears and concerns that the planned August 1 national protest might be hijacked by an army of hoodlums and truncate Nigeria’s present nascent democracy.

 

This Nigeria news platform understands that Onitiri expressed the fears in a strongly-worded press statement issued in Lagos, cautioning that the security, economic, and political situation in the country did not give room for any public protest but dialogue.

 

He explained that Nigerian democrats appreciate the feelings, hunger, pathetic security, and economic situation in the country affecting every household.

But the situation in the country called for serious caution and carefulness, stressing: “Our youths should be guardians of our democracy, involving more in nation building and not unproductive national protests,” he stated.

Speaking proverbially, Onitiri said when a child is cutting a tree in the forest, an elder will be watching which direction it will fall, hence the need for caution about the planned protest.

 

“We democrats wish to implore our youths to get more involved in nation-building instead of unproductive protests. The youths are the workforce of the nation. They are the nation’s productive sector and wheel.”

Onitiri paid a glowing tribute to the Nigerian youths for their patience and understanding, stressing that the Federal Government should not be blamed for the situation in the country, saying “We should all cooperate and find solutions to our inherited problems which he noted; the government was doing its best to resolve.”
