AFENIFERE URGES ORGANISERS TO POSTPONE PLANNED HUNGER PROTEST.
The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has appealed to Nigerians to be circumspect on the issue of the nationwide protests being contemplated by some people in the country.
Afenifere, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, deposed that while the people have an inalienable right to protest, consideration should be given to the general atmosphere surrounding the planned protest.
He said, Information at the disposal of Afenifere is that the planned protest is to draw the attention of the government to the excruciating situation in the country.
The organisation therefore called on relevant arms of government not only to meaningfully engage the people,
but to make positive steps to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians within the shortest possible time.
