The Executive Secretary of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Bishop Stephen Adegbite on the planned protest has called on all Nigerians for peace and patience.
In a release signed by the NCPC helmsman, he urged all Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful as the nation navigates the challenges of fuel price hikes, high dollar exchange rates, and increasing cost of living.
“While frustrations are understandable, I implore us to consider the efforts of our President, who has been working tirelessly to address these issues. Despite the difficulties, the President has been implementing palliatives across the states to alleviate suffering. I encourage us to refrain from participating in the planned nationwide protest and instead explore alternative channels for expressing our concerns”, he stated.
He appealed to all Nigerians to engage in peaceful dialogue, constructive criticism, and collaborative problem-solving.
He stated further, “We must work together to find solutions that benefit our nation as a whole. Nigeria is like a ship in a storm; we must work together to keep it afloat, rather than risking it being dashed on the rocks of unrest and chaos”.
“I call on all Nigerians to continue praying for our nation and its leaders, especially our President, for wisdom and guidance in these challenging times. Let us choose the path of peace, patience, and perseverance, and work together to build a better Nigeria”, he concluded.
