Groups in Adamawa state opposing the nationwide hardship protest have called on the leaders and sponsors of the protest to lead the processions with their children.
Members of the groups trooped out on the second day of the protest, Friday, August 2, in solidarity rallies expressing support for President Bola Tinubu instead of protesting against him.
They carried placards accusing the protest leaders and financiers of selfishness and insincerity for directing the protest from behind the scenes.
One of the placards read: “Let those pushing for a forceful change of government lead the procession with their children.”
The pro-Tinubu groups insisted that President Tinubu had done enough good for Nigeria to be encouraged to continue as a president.
They also stated in one of their placards that it should be Tinubu as Nigeria’s president to 2031.
Spokesman of the pro-Tinubu groups, Abali Paul, said: “We came out once again today to encourage Nigerians to keep the peace and to tell the state and the federal government that although they have indeed implemented programmes that benefit the people, issues remain.
“They should be quick in tackling the hunger and other issues that people are facing.”
