From: Femi Oyelola Kaduna

The Chairman of Action Alliance (AA) Hon. Adekunle Rufai Omo-Aje has warned that there would be dire consequences for the stability of the country if the planned nationwide protests against economic hardship,
> is allowed to go on because nobody can predict the outcome of it.
He stated this in a statement made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
Omo-Aje added that he is bothered about the planned protest against economic hardship, having seen the debilitating consequences of similar protests in other parts of the world, particularly in Kenya and Bangladesh.
The AA Chairman advised that it was unnecessary to allow agents of destabilization to plunge the Nation into palpable instability, anarchy, and chaos with needless protest and disorganized demonstrations.
Omo-Aje stressed that arsonists and criminals might be waiting to hijack the planned protest and unleash violence on innocent Nigerians.
“Hoodlums would take advantage of the protest to engage in criminal activities, including looting of shops, vandalism, and robbery, and in the end, it is the masses that will suffer
“The Action Alliance as a party distances itself from coming protests, including our loved ones. May God bless Nigeria and every loyal member of our great party, ACTION ALLIANCE. Let the masses leave.”
The AA Chairman therefore appealed to Nigerians, particularly the youth to remain calm and refrain from participating in the planned nationwide protest.
Omo-Aje said he acknowledged the frustrations and challenges faced by many Nigerians but emphasized the importance of a constructive approach.
