The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the opposition parties in the country of instigating the public to embark on protests against the current Tinubu Administration.
In a press statement released on Tuesday, Feb 6, the APC described the protests that took place on Monday in Kano and Minna as devious and unpatriotic acts instigated by the opposition parties.
Recall that protesters who matched in Kano and Minna accused the Tinubu-led administration of bring hardship upon the people.
In APC’s statement which was signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the ruling party said the Tinubu-led administration is solidly committed to doing everything in its power to mitigate the transient pains of critically important reforms that are crucial to economic recovery and sustainable
prosperity for all Nigerians.
The APC’s statement reads:
In its arrant desperation to portray the All Progressives Congress (APC)- led administration as under-performing, opposition parties have resorted to instigating unsuspecting young people to protests in the streets of Some major cities.
The protests in Minna and Kano on Monday were the manifestation of this devious and unpatriotic plot. That the protests happened simultaneously in both cities is not coincidental. It bears a bold stamp of
an orchestrated and coordinated effort to instigate unrest and undermine the government. This mercenary opposition tactic is a clear and present threat to public peace and national security.
While we recognize the right of citizens to engage in peaceful protest, we urge our good people to be vigilant and not lend themselves to the treacherous attempt by the opposition to promote social strife by its incendiary rhetoric and manipulative plots.
The President Bola Tinubu-led administration is solidly committed to doing everything in its power to mitigate the transient pains of critically important reforms that are crucial to economic recovery and sustainable prosperity for all Nigerians. It behoves us as good citizens of our beloved country to stand fast with our government in this noble stride. In due time, these policy reforms will yield enduring beneficial transformation of the material conditions of life in the country.
We implore Nigerians to shun the guile and unpatriotic attempt by opposition elements to destabilize the country for their own base and parochial political gains.
