Bar Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, the Minister of Women Affairs, has urged mothers and youths to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing that progress requires peace, not chaos.
During a national peace rally organized in Abuja with Niger Delta Volunteer Force leader Asari Dokubo, Ohanenye called for unity and patience, countering the upcoming #EndBadGovernance protests scheduled for August 1-10. She asserted that President Tinubu means well for Nigerians.
Dokubo echoed her sentiments at the rally, highlighting the adverse effects of protests on women and children and calling for collective support for the President.
The National Association of Nigerian Students also opposed the protests, aligning with the women’s rally and advocating for national unity and patience with the government.
“We are mothers, and we don’t want our children to die. We don’t want this protest because it shatters a country,” said Ohanenye. “I am begging Nigerians, alongside my brothers, children, and women, to understand that the narratives are about to change.”
She added, “I am pleading with Nigerians from my heart. The government is committed to fighting for women, children, and all. I can’t do this if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not giving me support.”
Dokubo argued that expecting the President to resolve every issue facing the nation in one year is unreasonable, as he is not a magician.
