The All Progressive Congress (APC), has alleged that the opposition parties have resorted to instigating unsuspecting young people to protest in the streets of some major cities.
The main opposition political parties in Nigeria are Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Labour Party (LP).
A statement signed by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated, “In its arrant desperation to portray the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration as under-performing, opposition parties have resorted to instigating unsuspecting young people to protests in the streets of some major cities.”
The statement reads further, “The protests in Minna and Kano earlier today were the manifestation of this devious and unpatriotic plot. That the protests happened simultaneously in both cities is not coincidental. It bears a bold stamp of an orchestrated and coordinated effort to instigate unrest and undermine the government.
“This mercenary opposition tactic is a clear and present threat to public peace and national security. While we recognize the right of citizens to engage in peaceful protest, we urge our good people to be vigilant and not lend themselves to the treacherous attempt by the opposition to promote social strife by its incendiary rhetoric and manipulative plots.
“The President Bola Tinubu-led administration is solidly committed to doing everything in its power to mitigate the transient pains of critically important reforms that are crucial to economic recovery and sustainable prosperity for all Nigerians. It behooves us as good citizens of our beloved country to stand fast with our government in this noble stride.
“In due time, these policy reforms will yield enduring beneficial transformation of the material conditions of life in the country. We implore Nigerians to shun the guile and unpatriotic attempt by opposition elements to destabilize the country for their own base and parochial political gains.”
It will be recalled that from the inception of President Tinubu’s government, Nigerians have been enduring untold hardship and pains due to the economic policies of the incumbent president.
Basic things of life like food are no longer affordable by common Nigeria as prices of essential commodities and services have astronomically gone up.
Besides, the nation’s security has almost collapsed completely as terrorists and kidnappers are having field days and thriving businesses, kidnapping, killing, and collecting outrageous ransom to free their captives.
Nigerians, who reacted to the allegations of APC disagreed with the party, saying Tinubu’s government has failed Nigerians.

Also, Queen Bee@RealQueenBee__ said, “When you spend 90% of the time that you would have used for governance on propaganda, chaos, and protests become inevitable. By the way, are you aware that Nigeria currently has no government or president quoting Ashuwaju himself?”
