Former Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume, has urged President Bola Tinubu to listen to Nigerians youths ahead of the planned nationwide protest.
Ndume warned Tinubu that the planned protest might get out of hand, hence he should listen to the youths.
Speaking on Channels Television on Monday, the Borno South Senator said the planned protest might get out of hand because there is no identified leader.
According to Ndume: “My fear is, looking at what happened during the EndSARS. I hope it does not get out of hand, especially when you cannot identify the leadership, that makes it more difficult.
“I second the motion of the NLC president that Tinubu should listen to Nigerians. The president should talk to the youth.”
Popular activist, Omoyele Sowore had called for a nationwide protest against the Nigerian government in August due to the hardship in the country.
This is coming when Ndume had accused Tinubu of shutting his doors against his Ministers and lawmakers over the hardship in the country.
In October 2020, young Nigerians took to the streets to protest against the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The protests took another turn after soldiers shot at demonstrators at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos.
