Former Spokesman to former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Daniel Bwala has cautioned those planning to stage protests over prevailing economic hardship that it may not end peacefully in the long run.
Bwala who is perfecting a defection move to the ruling All Progressives Congress, said just like what transpired in Kenya, the government in power will continue to run while the people will end up being the victims of the mass protest.
“For those who are planning to go and protest. The issue with the protests is that everybody has the right, you know, to show his dissent right, to protest is constitutional.
“But if you look at the situation that we are facing today, and you look at the talking point, even in social media, you will understand that this protest is not built to end in peace. If you go to a protest that turns violent, you are likely to find that the people who claim to be fighting for you end up destroying and looting shops, and burning government infrastructure. At the end of the day, we will be taken aback and the government will start all over again.
“If you look at Kenya that is what is happening. Government will continue to run but then we have gone backwards because our people will continue to be in hunger and deprivation, I’m glad that the President is making all the effort to meet with the needs of the Nigerian people,” he stated on Wednesday.
