Concerned Citizens, Muri Campaign Council denounce planned protest

A group of concerned citizens and the Muri Campaign Council have strongly denounced a planned protest allegedly orchestrated by a former Kogi State Governor against the Tinubu-led administration.

According to a statement released in Abuja, the groups described the plot as “laughable” and emphasised their commitment to lawfulness and non-violence.

“We want to clarify that we are not associated with these alleged plans and vehemently disavow any involvement in such activities,” said Isaiah Davies Ijele, Director of New Media and the spokesperson for the Muri Campaign Council. “We have no intentions of participating in any protest that incites disorder or promotes violence.”

The groups urged the government to hold the former governor and his associates accountable for any potential violent demonstrations originating from Kogi state.

“We stand firm in our commitment to upholding the rule of law and fostering a peaceful environment for all Nigerians,” Ijele added.

“We advocate for peaceful and lawful means of addressing grievances and encourage dialogue as the foundation for resolving differences.”
