Suspend Protest, Negotiate With Govt – Shehu Sani

 

Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator has sent a message to the organizers of the EndBadGovernance protest.

 

He urged them to negotiate with the Federal and the state governments.

 

Sani said with the nationwide address of President Bola Tinubu, the organizers should suspend the nationwide protest.

 

He noted that democracy can only work when aggrieved Nigerians opt to negotiate with their government.

 

Posting on X, Sani wrote: “After the President’s speech, the Protesters should suspend their protests and raise a team to dialogue with the Government at the Federal and state levels; there, they can negotiate on their demands. That is how democracy works.”

 

Since Thursday last week, Nigerians have been protesting against the hardship in the country.

 

The protesters had made several demands, including a return of fuel subsidies, improvements in living standards, cut in the cost of governance, reduction in electricity tariffs, and solutions to escalating insecurity.

 

Following the protest, Tinubu addressed the nation on Sunday.
