The daughter of President Bola Tinubu and Iyaloja General of Lagos State, Folasade Tinubu-Ojo has appealed to market women in Lagos to caution their children against participating in the planned August 1 hunger protest.

In a viral video on Sunday, Tinubu-Ojo warned that the protest is a ploy to destroy the country and urged parents to prevent their children from joining.

“Let’s talk to ourselves, our children, and our families that there is nothing like protesting in Lagos, it is just a ploy to destroy the country,” she said in Yoruba.

“See the last protest and the damage that was caused. Let’s not allow our children to participate because a party is paying some people to fight.”

Speaking in English, Tinubu-Ojo emphasised that the Lagos State Government has made significant progress and deserves support, while also urging patience with the Federal Government.

“The government at the centre just assumed office. Before you say a government is not doing well, let it last three years, at least,” she said.

“Prevention is better than treatment. We will not suffer loss of lives. Let everyone warn her children,” she added.
