Former Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central, has called on the #EndBadGovernance protesters to suspend their nationwide demonstrations and engage in negotiations with the Federal and state governments.
In a statement addressing the ongoing protests, Sani reiterated the importance of dialogue and negotiation in a democratic society, suggesting that these methods are the most effective ways for citizens and the government to address grievances.
Sani urged the protesters to form a team to engage in discussions with government officials at both federal and state levels.
He believes that such a team could present the protesters’ demands and work towards mutually agreeable solutions.
His call for dialogue follows the President’s recent speech and comes amid widespread protests that have been ongoing since last Thursday.
The #EndBadGovernance protests have been driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the country’s economic situation.
Protesters are demanding several key changes, including the reinstatement of fuel subsidies, improvements in living standards, a reduction in the cost of governance, a decrease in electricity tariffs, and effective solutions to the rising insecurity across the nation.
Sani believes that suspending the protests in favour of constructive dialogue could lead to more effective and lasting solutions to these issues.
He argued that a peaceful and democratic approach would be more productive in addressing the challenges facing the country.
By negotiating directly with the government, the protesters could ensure that their concerns are heard and addressed in a structured and respectful manner.
