Hon. Aminu made the appeal Wednesday during an engagement with APC youth leaders and members in Kano against the perceived negative consequences of the plan protest.

“Our many hardships did not start with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. While acknowledging the hardship being faced by Nigerians, President Tinubu assured that adjustment being made in some of his administration’s policies.
“On behalf of all the people who gathered here, particularly our mothers and sisters, women, we are not supporting any protest at this critical period of national development and cohesion. With no clear cut organizers, it simply means there is hidden agenda. Which we totally reject.
“I met and discussed with many women groups on this planned protest. Their message is very clear, that, they are not part of it, they don’t support it and they warned their children not to support it. They need peaceful Nigeria at any cost.
“Since Nigerians voiced out their worries, with the clear understanding that, this hardship did not start with this administration, President Tinubu has been meeting with stakeholders of the Nigerian project to chart a new course for an all-inclusive national development” Aminu added.
