Governor Uba Sani has warned Kaduna residents against participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest scheduled to kick off on Thursday.
Mr Sani stated this at a town hall meeting with critical stakeholders on Monday in Kaduna. He reiterated his administration’s commitment to the citizens’ welfare and security, expressing concerns about “faceless” groups planning protests under the guise of demanding good governance.
Mr Sani acknowledged the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians, attributing them to years of mismanagement and corruption.
He stressed that President Bola Tinubu is working to reset the economy with policies aimed at sustainable growth, though some have caused temporary pain.
The governor emphasised ongoing efforts to rebuild trust, enhance security, and implement pro-poor policies. He called the planned protests unnecessary and ill-timed, recalling that past protests in the state had often escalated into violence and destruction.
Mr Sani urged the stakeholders to prioritise stability and progress, advising against actions that could trigger unrest. He assured that the government was addressing security challenges and improving socio-economic conditions.
The governor called for unity and responsible actions to support the state’s development and the nation’s progress.
The Emir of Zazzau, Ahmad Bamali, representing the traditional institution, appealed for patience and urged the communities to refrain from protesting.
He emphasised the importance of coming together to solve the issues facing the northern region.
Representatives from religious organisations, Ahmad Gumi and Joseph Hayab, also urged their followers to avoid protests organised by unidentified groups.
Mr Gumi acknowledged the constitutional right to protest but expressed concerns about potential hijacking by malicious actors.
TUC and NLC chairmen in Kaduna, Abdullahi Danfulani and Ayuba Suleiman, respectively, stated that they would not participate in any protest, adding that they had not received directives from their national bodies.
Dayyabu Maigonjo, representing the Kaduna market community, corroborated TUC and NLC, warning that protests could lead to looting and destruction of facilities in the state.
