President Bola Tinubu has called on those planning an anti-government to shelve the idea and await the government’s response.

President Tinubu made this known yesterday as he urged Nigerians to give the government more time for economic policies to bear fruit.

The President, who spoke through Minister for Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris, appealed to Nigerians for understanding and more time to enable him to tackle the mounting challenges and clear the path to a new lease of life.

He said President Tinubu was not aloof to the grievances of those planning the protest, adding that he is committed to ensuring a better future for Nigeria.

As part of measures to alleviate the economic crisis, the president outlined relief action plans targeted at vulnerable Nigerians, students and young graduates.

Idris conveyed the President’s message while speaking with reporters at the State House in Abuja.

Also yesterday, students said they would organise a solidarity rally in support of the government in Lagos.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, who cautioned against a violent protest, vowed not to allow anarchy.

The Cross River State government vowed to crack down on any violent protest, saying it was yet to recover from the massive destruction of infrastructure during the 2020 #ENDSARS protest.
