…Calls for constructive conversation and mutual understanding to resolve the nation’s differences and build a better future
CHAIRMAN, Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Sani Musa, APC, Niger East has appealed to the protesters, especially the leaders and organizers, to place the country’s welfare above all else and call off the protest in the interest of all Nigerians.
In a statement he personally signed on Friday, Senator Musa said that It is only through constructive conversation and mutual understanding that we can hope to resolve the nation’s differences and build a better future.
The statement is titled, “A Call for Peace: Prioritizing Nigeria’s Future Over Protest.” Musa said, “As we enter the second day of the protest, I wish to appeal to everyone, especially the leaders and organizers, to place the country’s welfare above all else and call off the protest in the interest of all concerned. Too much blood has been shed, lives have been lost, and properties have been destroyed. This violence serves no one and only deepens the wounds we must all work to heal.
“I appeal once again for us all to embrace dialogue and allow peace to prevail in the face of this terrible tragedy we are inflicting upon our nation. It is only through constructive conversation and mutual understanding that we can hope to resolve our differences and build a better future.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has the best interests of this country at heart and is working tirelessly to bring about positive change. His vision for Nigeria is one of progress, unity, and prosperity for all. However, this vision can only be realized if we come together in peace and cooperation.
“The demands of the protesters can only be addressed in an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Violence and unrest will only delay the resolution of these issues and prolong the suffering of our people. This is a challenging time for us all, a period that requires us to embrace the truth, make sacrifices, and persevere. The hardships we face today will soon be overcome if we stand united and support one another.
“Our strength lies in our unity and our ability to rise above adversity. I call on every Nigerian to reject violence, seek dialogue, and work towards the peaceful resolution of our conflicts. Together, we can overcome these challenges and build a nation that we can all be proud of.
“Let us put Nigeria first, for the sake of our children and the future generations. Let us show the world that we can resolve our differences through peaceful means, and that we are capable of building a stronger, more united Nigeria.”
