The Ezendigbo in AJIF  lamented that the sad memories, watton destruction and killing witnessed during the last ENDSARS protest  in the area were still fresh and the entire Igbo community Ajeromi-Ifelodun never pray for such experience again.

He maintained the Igbo community  understands the hard economic challenges and  feelings which   Nigerians are passing  through especially the high costs of foodstuffs and social amenities in the markets, added no Nigerian is exempted from these economic challenges.

He  pleaded  with Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led administration.

According to him:  “Recognising the potential risks and consequences of such protests, we urge our followers to prioritise peace and unity above all else. Instead, we advocate for peaceful dialogue and constructive engagement with government officials to address pressing concerns.

“By speaking with one voice, we aim to promote national cohesion, stability, and progress. We believe that through collective effort and peaceful means, we can build a brighter future for our nation.”
