Anti-Government Protest: Threats Won’t Work – Femi Falana Tells FG
Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 24th Jul, 2024 - tori.ngSpeaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, Falana urged the FG to identify the organisers of the protest and engage them in productive dialogue.
Nigerian lawyer and activist Femi Falana has issued a warning to the federal government over the planned nationwide protest to take place on the 1st to 10th of August.
Reacting, Falana warned that no threat from the government or any quarters can stop the looming nationwide protest.
Some organisations and even the presidency had issued statements condemning the planned nationwide protests aimed at drawing the attention of the Federal Government to the prevailing hardship in the country.
Speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, Falana urged the FG to identify the organisers of the protest and engage them in productive dialogue.
He said: “They have a way of contacting themselves and I think the government can draw some lessons from that 2020 (#EndSars) experience. Identify those who are planning the protest and then engage with them productively.
“Threat will not work. In fact, the action of the government has a way of popularising such protests.
“Nobody listens to such warnings. This time around, the government should identify the leaders of the movement and have some dialogue with them. There are demands that are being raised, the government should address those demands.”
