Protest: APC Chieftain Appeals For More Time

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and South-South Zonal Organising Secretary of the party, Dr. Blessing Agbomhere, has appealed to Nigerians to give President Bola  Tinubu more time to fix the country before embarking on any protest, News About Nigeria reports. 

He made this plea in a statement on Monday, opining that the protest will only create more problems than it is meant to solve.

Agbomhere stated that President Bola Tinubu still has three years to deliver on his promises, adding that starting a protest a year into his administration would be the greatest injustice to him.

According to him, President Bola Tinubu’s administration is toiling to ensure that it provides a better life for all Nigerians.

“Starting a protest a year into the administration of President Bola Tinubu would be the greatest injustice to a political officeholder who has a four year mandate to deliver on his promise of renewed hope to Nigerians in an already battered economy.

“When a seed is planted, it has to die first before it germinates, grows, and bears fruit for harvest.

“The planting season is the most hectic time in the life of a farmer because that is the season he has to put the seed in the ground in expectation of a bumper harvest ahead. This is exactly the situation in the country with the current administration, which is toiling day and night to ensure that it provides a better life for all Nigerians.

“Bringing economic prosperity to Nigeria is never going to be an easy task and that is why it is necessary to give President Tinubu more time, seeing that some of the complaints raised for the protest, such as galloping inflation and high fuel prices, are global phenomena that are not peculiar to Nigeria alone,” he stated.
