Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has asked traders in Lagos state to deter their children from joining the planned nationwide protest.
Tinubu-Ojo, who is the Iyaloja-general of Lagos, urged the
women to ensure that their children stay at home, adding that the state
government has made significant progress in enriching the lives of the people.
Citing the #EndSARS protest, Tinubu-Ojo said people are yet
to recover from the losses incurred during the protest in 2020.
“Let’s tell ourselves, family, and children that there is
nothing like protest in Lagos. It is a gimmick to destroy the country,” she
said on Saturday at Dosunmu market.
“Look at what they did during the last protest (#EndSARS),
look at how they burnt government properties. Can you see that they are
fighting against us?
“Don’t allow any political party to give money to some
persons to fight. Don’t allow our children to get killed during the process.
“Look at the ShopRite at Adeniran Ogunsanya, Sangotedo,
Lekki. Those businesses that were destroyed… have the owners recovered from
their losses?
“I’m begging you in the name of God, let’s talk to ourselves
and our children that there is nothing like protest in Lagos state because the
government of Lagos state is making us proud.
“They (Lagos government) are making us happy. They gave us a
sense of belonging.”
The president’s daughter said the federal government should
be allowed to spend three years in office before being criticised.
“The federal government recently assumed office. Before you
say a government is not doing well, let it spend three years in office,” she
said.
“Let everyone tell their children at home to remain calm.”
The proposed youth-led nationwide protest is slated to
commence on August 1.
The federal and state governments, including President Bola
Tinubu, have appealed to the youths to shelve the protest.
Religious and traditional institutions have equally called
for the cancellation of the planned demonstration.
