Barely 48 hours to the Nationwide mass protest over the economic hardship in the country, the Special Adviser on Women Affairs to Ondo State Governor Hon Lucky Ayedatiwa. Dr Seun Bosede Osamaye, on Monday assured that the Citizens of the state especially women and Youths would not be partaking in the protest.
In a statement made available to news men in Abuja Dr Osamaye said that this assurance was based on wide consultations with stakeholders in the state in the last few days.
She agreed that the citizens have the rights to express their grievances against unfavorable policies but pointed out that doing so through violence was not the right and proper way to go.
According to her, ” Governments at all levels are working round the clock to address the nation’s multifaceted problems, we should exercise little patience to allow for fruitful results and not distract their attentions.
She stated that Governor Ayedatiwa was doing everything possible along with his cabinet members to continue to embark on people oriented projects that would have direct impact on the citizens.
Dr Osamaye appealed to the Youths to exercise patience but wait and see how the government would fulfil her promises assuring that things would surely change for the better.
She also advised parents and guardians to keep watchful eyes on their Children and wards to prevail on them not to any unlawful protest in the state as law enforcement agencies would be out to deal ruthlessly with trouble makers under whatever guise.
