Eschew Bitterness, Embrace Dialogue, Prof Kailani Tells Youths

Ahead of the planned nationwide protest, the director general of the Confederation of APC Support Groups, Prof Kailani Muhammad, has appealed to the organisers to eschew bitterness and embrace dialogue with the government to address their demands.

He called on President Bola Tinubu’s government to urgently assemble a Think-Tank, comprising three members from each geopolitical zone, to aid in government policy formulation and implementation.
Additionally, he suggested taking in 200 youths from each of the 36 states and the FCT for skill acquisition training programmes.

Prof Kailani, at a press conference stated that he would not relent in enlightening the nation, especially the youth, about the dangers inherent in the intended #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest, scheduled to commence on August 1, 2024.

“I am passionately appealing to our Nigerian youth to eschew bitterness and embrace dialogue with the government on all areas of concern.

“There is no doubt that hunger is prevalent in the land. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is aware of these challenges and, as a listening father to all, has begun revisiting some policies and taking steps to reverse the trend.

“He has swiftly dispatched 20 trailers of 25 kg rice to each of the 36 states of the federation, including Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

“Our youth must not allow disgruntled elements to deceive them into taking actions harmful to Nigeria’s progress,” he said.

Continuing, the DG said a video circulating in Nigeria incites the populace about the credibility of the 2027 general elections despite it being far off.

He urged youths not to be misled by unscrupulous individuals into violence and property destruction for the sake of a few self-centred people.

Instead, he encouraged the youth to positively engage the Bola Tinubu government to address issues amicably so that they can reap the benefits of the president’s long-term plans.

Kailani said the APC support group is pleased that the federal government has authorised crude oil allocation to the Dangote Refinery.

“However, this gesture should be managed efficiently and sincerely to benefit Nigerians. We witnessed how Dangote Flour Mills skyrocketed prices due to a monopoly,” he added.
