Senate President Godswill Akpabio has accused the candidates who lost out in the 2023 presidential election of sponsoring the planned nationwide protest.
He spoke on Monday at the State House, Abuja, after he witnessed President Bola Tinubu’s signing of the new minimum wage bill into law.
Some individuals & organisations in the country have planned a nationwide protest over the hardship occasioned by the economic policies of the Tinubu administration.
The senate president however, said those who lost the election thought they could use the protest to claim the mandate through the back door.
People who probably do not have their fortunes in the 2023 election are thinking they can come through the back door & that will amount to anarchy,” Mr Akpabio said.
He cautioned the intended protesters to ignore damaging properties. “Any destruction of any property will cost Nigeria money. We don’t have the money. Instead let’s put the money into developing you & developing your environs instead of going to rebuild”.
