The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC wishes to caution citizens in the state against participating in the planned nationwide protest which could according to the party be hijacked by hoodlums
A statement signed by the State Chairman Tukur Danfulani says the party found it very imperative to lend its voice to make this call due to the insecurity situation bedevilling Zamfara State and the need for stability of Nigeria as one united nation.
The Zamfara APC claimed that there is a likelihood of suspected criminals who have continued to make life highly unbearable to the people taking over the protest and worsening the security situation.
“For this reason, so let’s think wisely to avoid wanton destruction of the country in the name of protest because most of the countries that carried out such protests in the past are now experiencing more difficulties than what caused the protest”.
In Sudan, the people protested the hike in the price of bread but now buying Bread five times the cost before the protest and a lot of citizens’ properties, government infrastructures, businesses, health facilities have been destroyed with many rendered homeless.
Though the protest is an expression of citizens’ constitutional rights, all channels of amicable resolution of the problem have been exhausted.
As Muslims, Islam abhors protests and for the fear that no one can tell the extent of damage such protests could cause, it is better to find other avenues of settlement.
The Zamfara State APC described President Bola Tinubu as a listening leader who is doing his best to make Nigeria a better place for all.
The APC urged the people to support a government which has taken the right direction, through goodwill and prayers for the benefit of future generations.
