The national coordinator, Women Arise for Tinubu, Princess Obiageli Onu, has pleaded with protesters across the country to immediately stop the action due to its present destructive dimension.
Onu, who is also the State Woman Leader, Ndigbo in All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos, said that the loss of lives and destruction of properties across the country was unnecessary.
The woman leader said it was unfortunate that despite efforts made by stakeholders to dissuade the protesters from embarking on the protest, it still went on.
She said: “I specifically spoke with women, urging them not to join the protest and ensure that their children and relatives refrain from it. We realise that protest is a constitutional right of citizens but equally know the nature of our society and the dangerous dimension such events can take.
“We have been vindicated presently with reports of loss of lives and destruction of properties across the country,”
Onu, who is a lawyer, therefore appealed to the protesters to immediately stop the protest as President Bola Tinubu has heard and addressed Nigerians.
“The president reeled efforts made by his administration to revamp the economy and appealed for time to ensure their implementation and manifestation.
“The protesters might not be too satisfied with contents of the address but destruction is not the best approach for their demands to be met.
“The protesters should find constructive ways of ensuring their demands are met as the president is a father who listens to his children,” she added.
She noted that the situation was not irredeemable because such protest was not restricted to Nigeria.
“We are presently seeing waves of protest across the the world and this shows that Nigerians are not the only people experiencing economic hardship.
“It is presently clear that peaceful protests can be hijacked by hoodlums for destructive purposes and that it why the present one across the country should stop immediately,” she further said.
