APC leaders in Oyo State urge caution, warn against engaging in protests.

Several prominent members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have voiced concerns about the risks associated with organizing protests in the state during the current period.

This sentiment was expressed during a gathering in Ibadan, the state’s capital, where APC leaders such as Kolawole Raji and former House of Representatives members Muraina Ajibola, Dapo Lam, Sunday Adepoju, and Segun Odebunmi engaged with local youths.

The APC figures advised the young audience against participating in a planned protest scheduled for the following day, citing safety reasons. They underscored the precarious nature of staging protests in the state right now, with Raji, speaking on behalf of his colleagues, outlining the potential hazards of the proposed demonstration.

Raji highlighted achievements attributed to prominent party member Tinubu, particularly in the realms of local government autonomy, student loan initiatives, and infrastructural development.

The core objective of the meeting with the youths was to raise awareness about the perceived risks associated with the planned protest and to discourage their involvement.

“The meeting aimed to sensitise members of the APC to the potential ills of the planned protest and to discuss the state of the nation.

“President Tinubu met significant challenges upon taking office but is committed to addressing them methodically.

“We are very sympathetic towards the people and we are very aware that things are tough at this time, but we implore our people to give the president more time to put Nigeria back in shape.

“These things we complain of did not happen at once; it was gradual. We are confident Nigeria would be great under President Bola Tinubu”.
