Kogi Govt urges citizens to adopt not-in-my-state movement against violent protests

Kogi Govt urges citizens to adopt not-in-my-state movement against violent protests

Kogi Stare government has urged citizens of the state to stand in solidarity with the federal and sub-nation governments to put the economy of the country on the right track. 

The state government notes that  President Bola Tinubu, in synergy with the atate governments was working assiduously to get the nation’s economy working again.

It noted that apart from the fiscal and monetary policies that are already yielding positive results, government at the centre has injected economic stimulating incentives to address the challenges facing the country in the short, medium and long-term. The state government notes that “agriculture, industrialisation, infrastructure, education and healthcare are already receiving due attention from the federal government. 

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon. Kingsley Femi Fanwo said the administration of Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo is completely committed to ensuring the central efforts percolate into the state as we have begun massive investments in agriculture, education, healthcare and infrastructure. We have also continued to support homes across the state with palliatives to cushion the effects of the economic hardship occasioned by decades of mismanagement that the Tinubu Administration is working hard to correct. 

According to Fanwo, “As responsible citizens, there is a need to queue behind the efforts of the government at all levels to frontally deal with the issues challenging our well-being. 

“A protest would have been proper if the Government was making no efforts. Protests would have been popular if the efforts were not bearing fruits yet. Protests would have been understandable if we were not gradually moving out of the hopeless situation. But a protest at this point is an attack on the foundation of our rebuilding process and an attempt to throw the nation into the darkness orchestrated during the #EndSars destruction and carnage.

“It will be understood if the opposition feels disappointed that our economy is gradually retaining momentum and therefore would not offer them the opportunity to campaign against the ruling party using those parameters. But it is unacceptable and utterly unpatriotic to stoke violence at this period in the name of protest. The citizens have a right to protest but they do not owe the unpatriotic opposition elements, the window of violence. 

“Credible intelligence has pointed undoubtedly to the desperation of certain opposition figures to unsettle the nation and stop our march to recovery and prosperity. They are fanning the embers of war using protest as a smokescreen. It is our responsibility to stop these unpatriotic elements bent on manipulating the citizens to achieve their evil expectations. 

*It is heartwarming that we have received reports that our citizens are ready to march in solidarity with Mr. President’s efforts at defending the economic interests of the poor. We are proud of the fact that the people of Kogi have refused to yield the state to the macabre dance of agents of destabilisation. 

“In furtherance of the efforts of the Government of Kogi State to deepen patriotic orientation in our dear State, the Chief Servant of Kogi State has directed the State Ministry of Information and Communications to step up sensitization efforts aimed at keeping the people informed about what Government is doing at all levels. 

“The administration of His Excellency, Alh Ahmed Usman Ododo, has also expressed its commitment to investing in cushioning the impact of the economic challenges, promoting industrialisation to enable young people to get jobs, prioritising agriculture to crash the prices of food in the State and the nation as well as other measures to improve the standards of living in the state. Protests won’t crash the prices of food, intentional investment in agriculture like we are doing at the moment, will.” 

It, therefore, urged parents and guardians to give the right orientation to their wards, as Nigeria cannot afford another violent destruction of public infrastructure in the name of protests.
