Engage In Dialogue Rather Than Protest – CSOs, Bloggers, Content Creators Urge Nigerians
In a massive show of support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration, hundreds of Civil Society Organisations have taken to the streets of Abuja, Lagos, and other major state capitals in what has been described as a pro-rally.
In Lagos, a joint speech delivered by the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations urged Nigerians to channel their energy into constructive dialogue and collaboration with the government, rather than engage in protest that could bring chaos.
Murtala Adebayo who spoke on behalf of the over 20 groups said, “While we recognize the importance of expressing our concerns and advocating for change, we must also understand the potential dangers associated with organizing a violent protest”
He cautioned that protests, sometimes born out of genuine grievances, often lead to unintended consequences, adding that they can escalate into chaos, resulting in loss of lives, destruction of property, and a breakdown of social order.
According to him, “The proposed protest, if not managed carefully, is at the risk of being hijacked by hoodlums and elements with malicious intent. This could transform a peaceful demonstration into an event marked by violence and disorder, ultimately diverting attention from the legitimate issues at hand. We must not allow our efforts to be overshadowed by acts of violence and lawlessness.”
In Abuja, the Women Supporting Women For Good Governance (WSWGG) said under President Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria has witnessed transformative policies aimed at empowering women economically, noting that a violent protest has the potential to reverse the gains made so far.
…said the administration’s focus on women’s entrepreneurship has led to the creation of numerous initiatives providing financial support and training for female entrepreneurs. The establishment of microcredit schemes and grants has enabled countless women to start and expand their businesses, contributing to economic growth and reducing gender inequality.
“However, in light of the proposed protest, it is crucial to consider the potential risks and consequences. Protests, while a democratic right, can sometimes be hijacked by elements with malicious intent, leading to violence and disruption. Such outcomes could undermine the progress we have made, particularly in empowering women and promoting good governance.”
In his address at a separate rally, Mallam Abubakar Malami, Secretary General of the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations in Nigeria (COCSON) urged Nigerians to consider alternative means of dialogue and engagement with the government.
According to him, “By working collaboratively, we can address our concerns while safeguarding the stability and progress we have achieved. Let us channel our energy towards constructive dialogue, fostering an environment of peace and development for the benefit of all Nigerians.”
He said in light of the achievements of the Tinubu administration, it is crucial to recognize the potential risks associated with the proposed protest.
He said, “While the right to protest is fundamental in a democracy, it is essential to ensure that our actions do not inadvertently disrupt the progress we have made. Unfortunately, protests can be susceptible to hijacking by hoodlums, leading to violence and destruction that undermine our collective efforts.
