They however called on the government to take immediate action to alleviate the brewing tensions and avert impending public unrest.

Separate statements issued by the president general of the AYCF Yerima Shettima and that of NSCF Comrade Danjuma Paul, the groups said the mounting resentment within the population has reached an alarming tipping point.

Concerned about the likelihood of imminent mass protests, the groups said the youths are experiencing a profound sense of disillusionment and disenfranchisement, which has eroded their hopes for a better future.

Shettima, in the AYCF statement, pointed out that widespread poverty, rampant unemployment, lack of basic amenities, and rising insecurity are cultivating an environment ripe for unrest.

“The economic situation is dire, with Nigerian citizens grappling to make ends meet as the cost of living continues an upward trajectory. Unemployment rates have surged to record levels, businesses are collapsing, and the purchasing power of the average citizen is diminishing at an alarming rate.

“The lack of basic services such as electricity, clean water, and healthcare is exacerbating the plight of the people, further contributing to the growing discontent.There is a palpable sense of marginalization and neglect, leading to a collective sense of betrayal towards the government. Should these tensions go unchecked, they could give rise to widespread protests, potentially escalating into uncontrollable unrest”.

The youth leader however implored the youth to abstain from violent protests or actions that could further aggravate the situation, stressing that violence will only breed further destruction and loss of life, without effectively addressing the root causes of our grievances.

“We advocate for channeling frustrations and grievances through peaceful and constructive means of engagement that can foster positive change. It is imperative that the youth of Nigeria refrain from participating in any protests or demonstrations that could disrupt the nation’s stability.

“Violence and chaos will only deepen our crises and harm our society. Instead, we must harness our energies towards constructive dialogue and engagement with the government to seek sustainable solutions”.

He also called upon the government to take immediate action to alleviate the brewing tensions and avert impending public unrest. “The authorities must prioritize the welfare of the citizens, working diligently to improve living conditions for all Nigerians. This includes the creation of job opportunities, enhancement of social welfare programs, and provision of essential services to the needy.

“There is an urgent need for comprehensive reforms across economic, social, and security sectors to foster an environment conducive to growth, development, and prosperity. The government must respond to the needs and concerns of the people, engaging with sincerity, empathy, and a clear commitment to addressing national challenges.

“The time for action is now; failure to act could result in an uncontrollable scenario of public outrage. We urge all Nigerians to maintain calm and composure amidst these adversities. Let us, as a nation, unite to address the challenges we face, and work towards building a better future for current and future generations. Together, we can overcome these hardships and create a more prosperous and equitable society for all” he stated.

For Comrade Danjuma, “We urge the government to prioritize the welfare and security of all Nigerians and to work towards creating a conducive environment for economic growth and development. The people deserve to live in peace and dignity, and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that this is possible” he said.
