President of the Southern Kaduna Peoples’ Union (SOKAPU), Samuel Tabara, has said that the union will not participate in the planned nationwide protest against hunger and economic hardship.
In a statement in Kaduna, Tabara disassociated SOKAPU from the planned protest and condemned the motive behind it. He said, “a well intentioned protest cannot originate from people who just previously claimed that ‘religion, ethnicity and tribe forbid protests against leaders.”
According to the statement, “only fools embark on a journey which destination they cannot predict, stressing that, “it is more reasonable and meaningful to remain where we are and manage what we know in order to get what we need.”
Tabara said, “For now, at least there is respite on insecurity with hope for improvements, the governments at both federal and state levels are operating a policy of inclusiveness which marks a clear departure from the immediate past governments in Kaduna state under Mallam Nasiru Elrufai and Nigeria under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“There is hope for more in this regard if only we will be patient and give the present federal and state governments time to consolidate on their mandates.”
The statement noted that though the state of the economy is not pleasant, but the decay did not start from the current administration.
“Since every government wants to be successful, the federal government under His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kaduna State Government, under His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Uba Sani, are no exception.
“They need time with our support to succeed in office. For now, let it be known that SOKAPU is standing with the government at both levels in contrast to participating in any protest in Kaduna State, Nigeria, and in the diaspora…
“We are seriously ready and willing to work with anyone desiring to make Kaduna state and Nigeria peaceful and great at this material time under my watchwatch as President of SOKAPU”.
