The All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on Nigerian parents and guardians to watch the movement of their children/wards so they won’t be used to cause chaos in the planned nationwide protest.

The call was made on Wednesday at the 153rd meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling APC, as made known by the party’s National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru.

The ruling party also appealed to those planning the protest to shelve their plans, arguing that the policies of the government are targeted at resolving the challenges facing Nigeria but may not yield immediate results.

The statement added that while some of the demands of the protesters are political, others are constitutional, which may take some time to resolve.

Basiru also vowed that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is committed to the repositioning of the economy.

The party further called for an emergency meeting of Chairmen of the APC in all the 36 states of the federation for further discussions

The APC scribe said; “The NWC also noted that since coming on board in 2023, the Government met quite a number of challenges, especially economic challenges, and Mr President is gradually implementing programmes and policies that would in the nearest future, bring succour and relief to the citizens.

“The meeting also highlighted that most of the economic challenges are global issues, and can only be addressed after thorough brain-storming.

“The NWC also noted that some of the issues highlighted by the protestants are political, while others are constitutional matters that can only be addressed through the amendment of the constitution, which is ongoing at the National Assembly.

“The meeting, therefore, urged all those planning the protests to have confidence in Mr President’s unrelentless efforts at repositioning the economy, while assuring Nigerians that the challenges will sooner or later come to pass.

“The meeting urged parents and well-meaning Nigerians to monitor the movement of their children/wards so that they will not be used in causing chaos in the country.

“The NWC further called for an emergency meeting of Chairmen of the APC in all the 36 states of the federation for further discussions”.
