Southern Kaduna union hails members for obeying directive to ignore hunger protests
The Youth Wing of the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union has commended its members for heeding the directive to shun the nationwide hunger protests which took place last week.
A statement by the union’s National Youth Wing Coordinator, Jeremiah Maikano, urged members to focus on praying for wisdom for the nation’s leaders.
I stated, “We took the stance to stay away because previous protests in Kaduna State escalated into violence and looting. They also left many law-abiding citizens dead or injured.’’
The group sympathised with those affected by the violence and called on security agencies to recover looted stolen goods while also ensuring that perpetrators were brought to justice.
SOKAPU reiterated its appeal to members to remain law-abiding and stay off politically-motivated protests.
The statement also encouraged Nigerians to remain steadfast in prayer, trusting that the nation’s challenges would eventually become history.
