“The minister of information and national orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris has been addressing various youth groups and meetings. Nigeria is not Kenya and we will not allow any protest that will affect market women or one that would be hijacked by looters and hoodlums lurking around. Let’s cherish our peace and grow this democracy via dialogue.

“To this end, I urge all Nigerian youth and civil society organizations to dissipate their energies in protecting this government, this country and shun all planned protests.”

The group, had some inscriptions on their cards such as ‘Protect not Protest’, ‘May Nigeria Succeed,’ ‘Just a little Patience,’ ‘Lets Dialogue,’ ‘Economy will stabilize soon,’ ‘Nigeria is not Kenya’ among others.
