The Senior Special Assistant to Adamawa State Governor on Peace and Security, Ahmed Lawan has enjoined the residents especially the youths to snub the October 1 national protest called by “few faceless and unpatriotic Nigerians.”
Describing Adamawa as ever peaceful, Lawan said it is suicidal for any claimed patriot to consider protest of the kind under any guise, “now that the country is undergoing unprecedented restructuring.”
According to a press statement signed by the Governor’s aide, Adamawa would not join the protest because the state never benefited anything meaningful from the ones held in the past.
He said there are ongoing massive structural development like roads and cottage hospitals as well as recorded strides in health sector across the state that can’t be jettisoned for any sentiment.
Having listed other achievements of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Lawan said: “it is with this is mind that the office of the Senior Special Assistant on Peace and Security, Alhaji Ahmed Lawan calls on all parents, guardians, religious bodies to advise their children, wards and followers not to engage in the proposed national protest organised by yet to be identified persons.”
The SSA, who said that though peaceful protest is a constitutional right for Nigerians, added that: “any such action from faceless protesters whose identity could not be ascertained should be ignored and not be encouraged by true and genuine patriot.”
Lawan therefore appealed to the sponsors and callers of the exercise not to delve into any action that could be hijacked by hoodlums with a view to destroying the “beautiful projects, programmes and policies of the governor Fintiri’s administration which took dedication, hardwork, commitment and selflessness to build over the years and which all residents are enjoying.”
