The Wakili Nupe of Warri and it’s environs in Delta State,Alhaji Zuberu Mohammed Tajudeen today said traders in Igbudu market will not participate in the proposed nationwide protest against hunger and hardship in Nigeria.
Alhaji Tajudeen made the declaration during a chat with Our Correspondent in Warri.
He said, “Market people as far as I am concerned, nobody is ready for protest. All that concerns them is the peace of the market, State and this Country.”
Alhaji Tajudeen said they will also protect the market and their goods as well as ensure no hoodlum comes in to steal/siphone what they’ve laboured for.
Alhaji Tajudeen called on the relevant security agencies to be on guard to forestall any break down of law and order during the protest should it take place. “The soldiers , police, civil defence, Navy, DSS, Airforce should be on guard and take any criminal away during the protest.
Alhaji Tajudeen noted that he’s been trying to sensitise the people against the violence because there’s no gain in it.
Alhaji Tajudeen also that the himself and the Arewa Community have been praying that the problem of hunger and hardship should adequately solved by God Almighty. He stressed that,”No man can solve the hunger and hardship and other problems in Nigeria apart from God.
According to him, “We are also pleading to the protesters to do the protest in a peaceful manner. It’s only God that have the right to give anything to whoever He wants to give. When God says he wants to give you anything, nobody can stop it.
“The protesters should calm down. Nigeria will be great again. I know there’s hunger and hardship in the land.”
Alhaji Tajudeen who lamented the hyper inflation rate in the Country said, “a basket of garri I used to buy for ₦350 is now ₦3,500. Transportation is on the high side as it has skyrocketed. There’s an increase in the pump price of petrol.”
He urged Nigerians to join hands together with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to build the nation.
He also said that, the country particularly members of the House of Representatives, Senators should stop sidelining and oppressing the citizens just as he prayed that God in His infinite mercy can help the country from the shackles of hunger, hardship and corruption.
