Nigerian Concern Children Forum (NCCF) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to take all necessary and democratic measures to halt the planned nationwide protest.
The convener-general, A’isha Hassan Saraki, from Sunshine International School, addressed the press in Bauchi yesterday. She said, “We are here to address the nation, especially our father, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, regarding the planned protest by some Nigerians who are unhappy with the current state of the country.
“Your Excellency, Sir, as your grandchildren, who are among the most vulnerable and affected whenever there is a breach of law and order, we ask that you do everything humanly and democratically possible to address the key challenges facing our country.”
A’isha Hassan Saraki, who is eight years old, further pleaded, “We are appealing on behalf of our parents and the nation as a whole for you to find a way to address these challenges to ensure peace in the country.”
Another participant, Precious Fashola from Ogun State, appealed to the protesters to reconsider their plans and advised the President to engage them in dialogue.
Under the Nigerian Concern Children Forum (NCCF) umbrella, the children finally called on all Nigerians to be prayerful, expressing hope that the challenges will soon be a thing of the past.
