Federal Government urged to dialogue intending protesters


In a bid to find a lasting solution to the intended nationwide protest, the Federal Government has been advised to dialogue with the intending protesters.

The minority caucus of the House of Representatives, made the demand as part of its resolution at the end of its special meeting/dinner in Abuja.

A statement issued on Wednesday by the media team of the caucus quoted the Chairman, Kingsley Chinda, as urging those behind the planned protest to shelve the idea, citing the worrisome security situation in the country.

The statement appealed to the government to dialogue with the planned protesters and also look at some of the messages they are raising, particularly the critical areas that need government intervention. 

Kingsley in the statement noted that the house will not encourage any protesters citing scenarios where peaceful protests are overtaken by hoodlums to cause mayhem in the country.

He also called on the Federal Government government to adopt a non-kinetic approach to tackling the security challenges in the country as well as to ensure citizens are self-reliant in a bid to tackle the economic challenges in the country.

The minority caucus of the House of Representatives, also called on the security chiefs to do what is right to ensure that Nigerians are protected.

Acknowledging the presence of hunger in the land, the lawmakers appealed to the government not only to give palliatives but to create ways and means whereby people can be self-reliant.
