Olusegun Dada, special assistant to President Bola Tinubu on social media, says “those who want to burn down the country under whatever guise” will face the “strongest resistance”.
There have been reports of a youth-led nationwide protest
over the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
The protest is reportedly slated for August 1 to 15.
The proposed demonstration has evoked memories of the
nationwide anti-police brutality protests of 2020 which led to fatalities,
arson, and the torching of mass transit buses.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Dada said the protesters would
meet fierce pushback from supporters of the president.
“Those who want to burn the country down under whatever
guise will meet the strongest resistance of their lives,” Dada wrote.
“Not from security agencies, but from the silent majority
that gave their mandate to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for four years in the
first instance. We are waiting.”
Over the weekend, Sunday Dare, former minister of sports and
youth development, cautioned youths against hitting the streets to protest the
pervasive economic hardship.
