Planned nationwide protest wrongly timed – Uzodimma

Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodinma, has said the planned nationwide protest is coming at the wrong time.

Uzodimma cited the EndSARS movement of 2020, emphasising the fragile political environment and warning about the potential for hijack by criminals.

Speaking with State House correspondents on Wednesday after meeting with President Bola Tinubu, the governor urged citizens to protect the nation’s stability and avoid actions that could worsen economic hardships.

His appeal follows growing public outcry and calls for nationwide protests from August 1-10, in response to economic hardship and policy decisions.

So far, no persons have come forward as leaders of the planned protest.
