The speaker of the Nasarawa House of Assembly, Danladi Jatau, has cautioned his kinsmen and other citizens against joining a nationwide protest against hunger scheduled to start on August 1.
The speaker said this can lead to violence and anarchy in the country. He gave the advice while playing host to his kinsmen, the Ikka-Wangibi community, alongside the deputy majority leader of the house, Abel Bala, on Tuesday in Lafia.
The speaker said, ”From available records, protests lead to violence in the country, hence the need for my call for the people to shun protests at all times…What the government needs is your support and prayers to succeed.
“There are people who did not wish President Bola Tinubu and Governor Abdullahi Sule’s administrations well. Please speak to your people not to join the protests, as most protests lead to anarchy and violence in the country.”
Mr Bala assured the people of the state’s parliament commitment not to fail them while discharging their duties.
Mr Bala said that they have provided jobs and empowerment and initiated different projects and policies in their constituencies to improve the standard of living of their people.
