Tinubu/Shetima Foundation Warns Protests Will Worsen Nigeria’s Crisis, Urges Constructive Solutions

Tinubu/Shetima Foundation Sounds Alarm: Protests Could Escalate Nigeria’s Crisis, Calls for Urgent Solutions

The Tinubu/Shetima Foundation, led by National Chairman Alh. Yahya Hamanjulde, has spoken out about Nigeria’s economic challenges.

Speaking in Yola during the Foundation’s General Meeting, Hamanjulde expressed concern over the worsening economic conditions.

He urged Nigerians to seek constructive solutions instead of resorting to street protests.

Hamanjulde acknowledged the significant economic hardships but argued that protests might not be the best method to address these issues.

He stressed the need for caution, considering Nigeria’s diverse socio-cultural dynamics, including varying levels of civilization, exposure, and conflicting sentiments around religion and ethnicity.

“We know the economic hardships in Nigeria are driving people to the brink, pushing them to the streets to voice their anguish,” Hamanjulde said.

“Yet, our journey towards progress is impeded by our limited exposure and deep-rooted divisions of religion and ethnicity. These challenges threaten to fragment our efforts, making it difficult to unite for the meaningful change we desperately need.”

The Foundation supports the right to peaceful protest but remains wary of potential negative outcomes. Hamanjulde warned that protests could be hijacked by selfish politicians who might exploit the situation through paid hoodlums, causing chaos and disrupting daily life.

“Peaceful protests are lawful in Nigeria, but our fear is that such actions could stagnate the daily businesses of the poor and worsen their suffering instead of alleviating it,” he said.

Hamanjulde highlighted instances where poorly managed protests turned into chaos and bloodshed, leading to the loss of innocent lives.

The Foundation criticized the Federal Government’s perceived insensitivity towards struggling citizens. Hamanjulde pointed out that more than 85% of the population grapples with basic needs.

Despite these challenges, the Tinubu/Shetima Foundation believes the government is taking steps to address economic difficulties.

Hamanjulde urged Nigerians to be patient and understanding, acknowledging that while government efforts might not yield immediate results, they are essential steps towards long-term stability and prosperity.

“The government is aware of the difficulties and is working to implement measures to cushion the effects of the post-fuel subsidy removal,” Hamanjulde explained.

“These interventions, though currently perceived as ineffective, temporary, and inadequate, are part of a broader strategy to stabilize the economy.”

The Foundation calls on all Nigerians to support constructive dialogue and collaboration with the government.

While the rally organizers lament, “this hunger is too much”, on Thursday, the federal government acknowledged awareness of the planned hunger rally, stating,

“We know the identities of many of the masterminds behind this protest, as well as their collaborators living abroad. The government is taking necessary actions to thwart their subversive plans.”

Hamanjulde urged,

“Let’s join hands to uncover solutions that will bring true relief and lasting development to our cherished homeland. Through our collective effort and mutual understanding, we can face these challenges head-on and emerge stronger and more united as a nation. Now is the time for action, for the future of our country depends on it.”

The National Chairman of the Tinubu/Shetima Foundation, Alh. Yahya Hamanjulde, has also revealed that the current crisis ongoing in the party in Adamawa is as a results of its leadership practicing anti-party where he noted that the now leaders believed those who did anti-party are the valid members of the party, doing away with those who worked towards the victory of the party form Presidential to state Assembly elections.

“This party to my own understanding is about to sink, because we are now in the sinking boat, I don’t know.. If the stakeholders did not come to the rescue of this party, this boat is going t sing soon,” he said

Hamanjulde called on the Nigerian President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu  with more emphasis on his Vice President, Kashim Shetima to come to rescue this party in Adamawa State.
