The Northern Senators Forum has appealed to Nigerian youths to exercise restraint in the ongoing protests in the country.
The Chairman of the Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’adua, made the call in a letter addressed to the youths and made available to journalists on Saturday in Abuja.
The #EndBadGovernance protest organized by some groups of Nigerians to express their displeasure over the hunger and other socio-challenges occasioned by the policy initiatives of the Tinubu administration has been marred by violence with a number of people killed and properties destroyed in many states across the country.
At least four states, including Kano and Borno, have declared curfew after hoodlums hijacked the otherwise peaceful protests in the states.
The letter read: “I write to you today as the Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, with a deep sense of concern and hope for the future of our great nation.
“While it’s your democratic right to embark on a peaceful protest to press home your demands, it is equally important to recognise that most protests have ended up in violence.”
“Therefore, I wish to call on those who organized the nationwide protests to reflect on what happened on the first day of the protests.”
Yar’adua said President Bola Tinubu was aware of the challenges faced by Nigerians and was working tirelessly to address the issues.
