The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) on Friday urged the Federal Government to initiate peace moves with organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protests.
The PRP National Chairman, Malam Falalu Bello, made the call in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
A nationwide protest called by a group of Nigerians to show their displeasure with the hardship and other problems occasioned by the policy initiatives of the current administration will take place on August 1.
The Federal Government and other concerned Nigerians have continued to appeal to organisers of the protest to drop the idea to avoid a repeat of the unfortunate experience of the October 2020 #ENDSARS protests in the country.

The Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, on Tuesday, restricted the protesters to the Freedom Park in Ojota and Peace Park in the Ketu area of the state.
Bello said: “We acknowledge the inherent right of citizens to protest and exercise their fundamental freedoms as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution which guarantees the right to peaceful assembly and association.”
He said that the current wave of protests in Nigeria was a testament to the resilience and determination of citizens to demand better governance and improvement in their living conditions.
“We urge the government to listen attentively to the cries of the protesters and take concrete steps to address their concerns.
“In the last years, the PRP has consistently advocated for good governance in Nigeria.
“We have called for a reduction in the cost of governance, urging the government to prioritise prudent spending and eliminate wasteful expenditure.
“We have also emphasised the need to tackle corruption head-on, holding those in power accountable for their actions and ensuring transparency in public transactions.
“Furthermore, we have pushed for improved security measures to ensure the safety and well-being of all Nigerians,” the PRP chief added.
Bello urged protesters to exercise their rights responsibly and peacefully.
