NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
The Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has cautioned the organisers of the planned nationwide protest to perish the idea of staging any form of protest in Igbo land.
It could be recalled that the protest, billed to hold from August 1-10, is against the current hardship in the country.
However, in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday, the National President of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the youths were in tandem with the decision of the South-East Governors’ Forum.
Okwu, who said they opposed a similar protest in the past, declared that nothing had changed from their stand.
He said, “We affirm our earlier position that we are solidly behind the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“In as much as we admit that there are challenges facing the country, we don’t believe that protest is the way forward. Rather, we should all keep faith with the government as it makes conscious efforts to restore the fortunes of the country.
