Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has said the nationwide protests are not the solution to the difficult situations facing Nigeria.
Governor Namadi stated this while speaking at an emergency town hall meeting held at the Banquet Hall, Government House on Monday over the planned nationwide protest in the country.
He acknowledged the hardships many Nigerians are experiencing, including economic difficulties, insecurity, and social unrest.
He noted that expressing grievances through protests is a democratic right but not the most effective way to resolve issues.
According to him “I firmly believe that protests alone will not provide the solutions we seek. It is time for all of us to turn to Allah, look at our relationship with our creator, seek His forgiveness, and ask for His guidance in overcoming these challenges.”
The governor urged citizens to turn to Allah and seek divine intervention as the ultimate remedy for the country’s challenges.
He noted that the government is doing their best to ease the suffering of citizens including; approving the duty-free importation of major food items, empowerment packages.
Speaking on behalf of traditional rulers, the Emir of Hadejia Adamu Abubakar Maje, lamented that Nigerians are currently going through the most difficult situation but the planned mass protest may not be the solution to the problems.
According to him, “we are not in support of the protest, let each one of us look into his doing between him and God, families and relatives”
Chairman council of Ulama Shiek Khadi Bashir Ahmad noted that only God has the power to change the situation.
He urged the citizens to repent and continue seeking forgiveness from Allah SWA and His quick intervention to solve the problem.
