The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewaure II, has appealed to the Nigerian youths to shelve the planned protest slated for August 1, 2024.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Osaigbovo Iguobaro, the Benin monarch noted it takes a while for things to get better and appealed to Nigerians to give the current administration time to implement its economic policies which are expected to alleviate the present hardship.
“For things to get better, it has to be tough for a while.”
The Monarch also appealed to the federal government to intensify efforts in the implementation of its economic and security policies.
Oba Ewuare therefore advised those who are planning the nationwide protest to shelve the plan.
Recall that some youths had proposed August 1, 2024, to begin a 10-day nationwide hunger and hardship protests across the country to draw the federal and State governments’ attention to the plight of citizens.
President Bola Tinubu appealed to Nigerians to give him more time to accomplish his plans for the nation.
