Thousands of aggrieved residents of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, Wednesday staged a peaceful protest over shortage of new naira notes and fuel scarcity in the state.
The statement said that Governor Abdulrazaq sympathized with the people of the state on the continuous scarcity of the naira as a result of the recent Central Bank of Nigeria’s currency redesign policy, while he appealed to the people of the state to remain calm and peaceful, and not give in to any frustrations over the naira scarcity.
Also, the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party in the state has appealed for calm and patience over the continued scarcity of new naira notes and fuel in the state.Director General for the PDP Gubernatorial Campaign Council in the state, Prof. Ali Ahmad, urged the people of the state and Nigerians to use the forthcoming election to vote out APC in the country.
“It is however important that we do not allow the legitimate protest to be seized by hoodlums who might intend to exploit the situation to cause further crisis and endanger the lives and property of residents. That is why we advise that the residents direct their anger to reject the APC and all its candidates at the polls as a way of showing their displeasure with a government that has failed the people on all fronts.
