Protest: Accept Tinubu’s Overtures, Oyebanji Begs Youths

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji has appealed to youths in the state and across the country not to embark on the planned nationwide protests and accept the olive branch extended to them by President Bola Tinubu.

The governor who stated that President Tinubu-led administration was doing its best to address Nigeria’s challenges said there was no cause to protest against the federal government in the state.

This is just as the Senate Leader, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele said the present All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government is sincere and not pretentious about the country’s economic situation adding that efforts are being made towards taking the nation to the next level of economic breakthrough and prosperity.

The duo spoke in Ado Ekiti after the inauguration of a digital library built by Senate Leader being one of his constituency projects in Ekiti Central Senatorial District at the weekend.

Other projects facilitated by Bamidele that were also inaugurated included, male and female hostels for medical students of Ekiti State University, a two kilometer road within the campus in Ado Ekiti, an old people’s home, modern night market, a road project all in his country home, among others.

Speaking further on the planned protest Oyebanji said, “I am so glad that various organizations in Ekiti State have started dissociating themselves from that protest. We have a federal government that has been in alignment with us, that has been supporting us as a state. Yes we acknowledged there are challenges, but the solution is not a protest, the solution is in sitting down together and collectively finding a way out of the problems.’’

On the state of the nation, Senator Bamidele described the current situation in Nigeria as worrisome, however, said that it is not something that started yesterday.
