To prevent the October 1st planned protest, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Nigeria have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately dialogue with the leaders of the protest.
Speaking to newsmen through their leader, Awwal Musa Rafsanjani, the CSOs said even though the protesters should peacefully conduct themselves, President Tinubu should honour his words by initiating a dialogue with them.
Rafsanjani, who advised the president to show serious commitment by engaging in dialogue with the protesters, added that such can help in moving the country forward, rather than keeping quiet.
He expressed disappointment with the present happenings in the country, stated that the government’s failure to initiate discussions with the protesters and address their grievances indicates a lack of commitment to resolving the underlying issues.
