Hardship: Stop inciting Nigerians; APC chieftain warns politicians

A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Mr. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has urged fellow politicians to avoid making inflammatory statements that could lead to violent protests in light of the ongoing economic challenges facing the nation. He stressed the importance of maintaining peace and stability during these trying times.

In a statement released in Osogbo on Sunday, Oyintiloye called on security agencies to remain vigilant and take action against anyone attempting to incite unrest among the populace. He emphasized that those who exploit the current hardships to stir up discontent against the government should be regarded as adversaries of the nation.

The former lawmaker, who represented the Obokun State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, expressed his concern over the potential consequences of divisive rhetoric. He stated that during this critical period in Nigeria’s history, it is essential for all citizens to support President Bola Tinubu, who is working diligently to stabilize the economy for the benefit of all.

Oyintiloye pointed out that the multitude of challenges facing the country can only be overcome through collective effort and collaboration. He urged politicians to refrain from making provocative statements that could lead to public disorder. “The President is doing everything possible to turn the economy around, and it would be unpatriotic for anyone, regardless of their status, to incite the masses to protest,” he remarked.

He acknowledged the undeniable struggles within the economy but reassured citizens that these difficulties are temporary. “While the situation is indeed challenging, it is crucial to understand that the President is actively working to restore the economy to a healthier state for the benefit of all Nigerians,” he explained.

Moreover, Oyintiloye cautioned against the dangerous trend of inciting protests as a means of expressing dissatisfaction with the government. He strongly advised politicians who are calling for public demonstrations to reconsider their approach or be prepared to face legal repercussions. “Inciting the masses against the government is not a constructive path forward,” he stated.

In conclusion, Oyintiloye’s remarks reflect a broader call for unity and patience as the country navigates its economic difficulties. He reiterated that fostering a collaborative environment is vital for overcoming the numerous challenges Nigeria faces. By promoting dialogue and understanding rather than division, he believes the nation can move towards a more stable and prosperous future.top
