The Chairman of the Non-indigenes Association, Delta State, Sir Bernard Agazuma has advised members to stay away from the proposed 10-day nationwide protest slated to commence on Thursday, August 1, 2024.
Agazuma gave the advise while speaking with our reporter in Asaba.
He urged his members not to embark in the protest as it would affect the nation’s economy and cause more insecurity to the nation.
While making reference to the last ENDSARS protests, the Chairman said any attempt to embark on another protest, would worsen the economy of the country.
He admonished them to see the recent economic hardship as a global one, which the state governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has however stepped in to address.
The Chairman advised them not join forces with people to cause rancor or unnecessary violence under the disguise of protest to the government that had given them a voice and relevance in the state.
According to him, many of them had benefited from the government in the area of appointment, serving as councillors, engagement in the distribution of palliative to vulnerable persons, empowerment, job employments amongst others.
Agazuma advised his members to stay away from the planned protest which he said he was optimistic would be hijacked by hoodlums as was done during the ENDSARS protests.
