By Folorunsho Alagbede

Some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), in Oyo State have declared that it is dangerous to protest in the state during this period.
The APC chieftains made this declaration while addressing youths in the state at an event held in Ibadan, the state capital.
The APC chieftains who addressed the youths included Kolawole Raji and former members of the House of Representatives Muraina Ajibola, Dapo Lam, Sunday Adepoju, and Segun Odebunmi.
The APC chieftains while addressing the gathering appealed to the youths not to join the protest slated for tomorrow.
The APC chieftains noted that it is dangerous to protest in the state at this time.
Raji, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, emphasised the dangers of the planned protest.
He maintained that Tinubu has recorded some achievements in the areas of local government autonomy, student loan and infrastructural development.
He added that the aim of the meeting with the youths was to sensitise them about the dangers of the protest.
“The meeting aimed to sensitise members of the APC to the potential ills of the planned protest and to discuss the state of the nation.
“President Tinubu met significant challenges upon taking office but is committed to addressing them methodically.
“We are very sympathetic towards the people and we are very aware that things are tough at this time, but we implore our people to give the president more time to put Nigeria back in shape.
“These things we complain of did not happen at once; it was gradual. We are confident Nigeria would be great under President Bola Tinubu,” he said.
