No protest will hold in Southwest, Tinubu not a failure – Joe Igbokwe

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has downplayed the possibility of a protest in the Southwest against President Bola Tinubu.

This was as Igbokwe said some states in the Southeast and Southsouth will also not join any protest against Tinubu.

The APC chieftain stated this while noting that President Tinubu is not a failure.

Posting on his Facebook page, Igbokwe urged Nigerians to support Tinubu because his plans would make Nigeria great.

According to him, “Believe me: This man has great plan for Nigeria. All he needs from us is our undiluted and unflinching support, trust him, encourage him, pray for him.

“Let no one expect any protest in the South West for obvious reasons: PBAT is not a failure.

“I know that some states in South South and South East may not join too. Those who want to protest should avoid Lagos for obvious reasons.”

CityNews Nigeria had reported that activist, Omoyele Sowore had called for a massive protest against the Nigerian government in August over the hardship in the country.

However, as part of efforts to tackle the hardship and hunger, the Nigerian government had rolled out measures to tackle food insecurity within 150 days.

The measures, announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari included a 150-Day Duty-Free Import Window for food commodities.
