Tinubu’s supporters stage counter-protest in Kano

Some pro-Tinubu supporters have stormed the Audu Bako Way and Farm Centre Road in Kano.

They said the current administration needs more time to address the challenges confronting the nation.

According to Daily Trust, the protesters also converged on the Nassarawa mini palace, where they deliberated on possible solutions to the challenges.

“We are out to appreciate the President for the development we are able to count on in this administration so far,” Abdullahi Muhammad Saleh, one of the pro-government protesters, said.

He continued: “We appreciate him for the North West Development Commission. We are sure it will bring about positive change in our region. The best way to protest is through dialogue. Everybody is feeling this pain but protest is not the way out. Let’s preach peace first and unite ourselves to solve our problems. We can dialogue, not approach the government.

“We don’t want anybody—unpatriotic people—to hijack this action. We can do more. We are for the government because we know what it is doing. We are against the protest of violence.”

The latest development comes after chairmen of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, across the country vowed to mobilise supporters of the president to showcase his achievements.

The chairman of the Cross River State chapter and Secretary of the APC States Chairmen Forum, Alphonsus Ogar Eba, had said that all structures of the party would be mobilised from wards to the national level to “re-echo the laudable projects and the programmes of President Tinubu.”

DAILY POST reports that some Nigerians are on a nationwide protest starting on August 1–10, 2024.

The organisers of the protest have lamented widespread hunger and inflation in the country.
