They asked everyone to be careful and patient with the current government.
In a statement from Isaac Kekemeke, the APC’s Vice Chairman, and Vincent Bewaji, the zonal secretary, the party asked people living in the Southwest and even those living abroad to not let the region become a place of violence or crime through protests.
They asked Nigerians to bear the current difficulties with patience, assuring that soon things will get better for everyone.
The statement said that everyone has the right to protest peacefully and speak out about the government’s programs.
