Oba of Benin, Oba Ewaure II, on Wednesday, appealed to the Nigerian youths to shelve the planned protest slated for August 1, 2024.
The first class monarch, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Osaigbovo Iguobaro, said that it takes a while for things to get better.
Oba Ewuare II appealed to aggrieved Nigerians to give the Federal Government enough time to implement its economic policies which are expected to alleviate the present hardship.
“For things to get better, it has to be tough for a while.”
He also appealed to the Federal Government to intensify efforts in the implementation of its economic and security policies.
Oba Ewuare however advised those that are planning the nationwide protest to shelve it.
Recall that some youths had proposed August 1, 2024 to begin a 10-day nationwide hunger and hardship protests across the country to draw the federal and State governments’ attention to the plight of citizens.
President Bola Tinubu had appealed to Nigerians to give him more time to accomplish his plans for the nation.
