The representatives of the youth and ethnic groups also addressed the gathering, noting that some of the issues highlighted by the protestants are political, while others are constitutional matters that can only be addressed through the amendment of the constitution, which is on-going at the National Assembly.

The Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabir Adewale Shotobi, thereafter urged all those planning the protests to have confidence in President Tinubu’s relentless efforts at repositioning the economy, while assuring Nigerians that the challenges will sooner or later come to pass.

The Monarch also appealed to the parents and well-meaning Nigerians to monitor the movement of their children and wards so that they will not be used in causing chaos in the country.
