Governorship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the last election in Kogi State, Murtala Ajaka, has urged Nigerian youths to stop the ongoing protest against economic hardship in the country, saying they had spoken and their voices were loud and clear.
The former APC spokesman said this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja yesterday.
Ajaka applauded the bravery and determination of the youths for standing up against the economic challenges in Nigeria and advocating for an improved standard of living.
He said; “it is undeniable that things are not as they should be, therefore, it’s difficult to out rightly condemn the youth for taking to the streets to express their displeasures.
“However, your voices have echoed across the nation and reached the ears of our president.
Now it is the time to give peaceful dialogue a chance.
“Protests of this nature are often hijacked by individuals with destructive motives. I must emphasize that resorting to violence, looting, and destruction of public and private properties is not the right way to communicate your grievances.”
