A Political group under the All Progressive Congress in Lagos State, Justice Forum, has called on the youth in the country to embrace dialogue and shun any action or utterances that can lead to breakdown of law and order
The decision was taken at the meeting held in Ikeja on Saturday.
“The Co-ordinator of the group Rt Hon. James Faleke advised the youth not to allow some disgruntled elements to use them to achieve a self centerism political agenda”
He cited the ENDSARS protest which took place a few years ago in Lagos and hijacked by disgruntled elements where innocent lives and several properties worth billions of Naira were lost as a result of the senseless action by agents of darkness.
“We all witnessed how innocent lives and properties worth billions of Naira were lost during the so-called ENDSARS protest a few years ago in Lagos when a genuine agitation turned into violence
“There is need for us to thread softly with the development in Kenya and other similar incidents across the world where genuine agitations have resulted into loss of innocent lives and several properties destroyed.”
Hon. Faleke noted the positive effects of some of the policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is beginning to manifest on the nation.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration has just approved a new minimum wage for the civil servant which is more than 100%
“He has equally removed the duties payable on essential food items, payment of student loans among other efforts by the government to put the Economy back on track,” he said.
