President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has appealed to protesters to exercise their right to protest peacefully, without resorting to violence and destabilising the country.
Akpabio’s message comes after the signing of the National Minimum Wage Bill into law, which sets the new minimum wage at N70,000.
Addressing protesters, Akpabio warned against allowing themselves to be misled by individuals with political agendas, particularly those who lost out in the 2023 elections, emphasising that the destruction of property would only lead to unnecessary rebuilding costs, diverting funds from development projects.
The Senate president acknowledged the country’s challenges, including years of insecurity, but expressed optimism in the current administration’s efforts to address them.
