The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has urged Yorubas against participating in any protest or rally amid the planned demonstrations by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) slated for February 27 and 28.
Earlier, the NLC announced plans to embark on a two-day strike to protest the hardship currently being faced by Nigerians following the dramatic hike in the prices of goods and services due to the removal of fuel subsidies and the free fall of the naira, among others.
Angry Nigerians have since protested in Niger, Oyo, and Osun, among other states, asking the Federal Government to take decisive steps to bring the hardship to an end.
In a statement today, Afenifere leader, Reuben Fasoranti, urged Nigerians to come to terms with the realities of the nation’s challenges.
He said President Bola Tinubu’s administration is working to resolve the challenges it has inherited over the years.
Pa Fasoranti added that while acknowledging the hardships faced by the people, it is important to recognize that these economic measures, although difficult, are part of a larger strategy aimed at restoring economic prosperity and stability in Nigeria.
