As a nationwide protest against hardship, poverty, and the high cost of living approaches, the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to initiate talks with the organizers.
The protest, tagged “EndBadGovernance,” has gained significant traction on social media and is scheduled to take place across all states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, in August. Despite the anonymous nature of the organizers, the Minority Caucus recognizes the urgency of addressing the grievances driving the protest.
In a statement, the Minority Caucus emphasized the need for constructive dialogue between the government and the protesters to find solutions to the pressing issues of hardship, poverty, and high cost of living. By engaging with the protesters, the government can better understand their concerns and work towards addressing them.
The Caucus warned that ignoring the protesters’ demands could lead to further unrest and social discontent, ultimately affecting the country’s stability. They urged the Federal Government to take proactive steps to address the underlying issues and engage in meaningful dialogue with the protesters.
As the protest date approaches, the Minority Caucus’s call for dialogue serves as a reminder of the importance of collaborative governance in addressing the nation’s challenges.
