Adamawa residents urged not to participate in upcoming national demonstration

Residents of Adamawa state are being urged by the state government not to participate in a nationwide demonstration.

Some young people in the nation are reportedly plotting a demonstration against the growing cost of living and economic difficulties that will take place from August 1st to the 15th.

Adamawa’s commissioner for communication and strategy, James Iliya, issued a statement expressing the state’s solidarity with President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s efforts to revive the economy.

“The President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is working tirelessly to get the nation’s economy back on track,” added Iliya.

To tackle the immediate, intermediate, and distant problems, the federal government has introduced stimulus programmes to the economy in addition to the successful monetary and fiscal policies.

Massive investments in agriculture, education, healthcare, and infrastructure have begun under the administration of Adamawa State’s Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and the state is fully committed to ensuring that these efforts permeate the entire state.

As the Tinubu government works tirelessly to rectify the economic hardships caused by decades of mismanagement, we have also maintained our support for homes around the state by providing palliatives.

We must, as accountable citizens, stand in queue to support the government’s initiatives at all levels to confront head-on the threats to our welfare.

“If the government had made no efforts, a protest would have been proper.” If things weren’t starting to turn around, more people would have joined the protests. Protests might have made sense if we hadn’t progressively escaped the terrible position.

“However, a demonstration at this juncture would be a strike against the very essence of our recovery efforts and an effort to plunge the country into the shadows cast by the #EndSars tragedy.”

Defiantly refusing to give up the state to the destabilisation agents’ macabre dance, the people of Adamawa have shown great pride, he declared.
