Hundreds of Civil Society Organizations, bloggers, and content creators gathered in Abuja to show support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The rally, which took place on Wednesday, aimed to promote constructive dialogue and collaboration with the government.
Murtala Adebayo, speaking on behalf of the groups, urged Nigerians to channel their energy into positive engagement rather than protests that could lead to chaos. He cautioned that protests can sometimes be hijacked by malicious elements, resulting in violence and destruction.
Mrs. Magret Thomas, representing the Women Supporting Women For Good Governance, highlighted the administration’s efforts to empower women economically. She noted that a violent protest could reverse the gains made so far.
