Shade Tinubu’s statement emphasizes her opposition to the planned nationwide protest, urging market men and women to dissuade their children from participating. She highlights the damage caused during previous protests, specifically referencing the EndSARS demonstrations that resulted in significant losses for business owners. Tinubu suggests that Lagos state is well governed and advises against protests, attributing the current challenges partly to the federal government’s recent assumption of office. Her remarks underscore a stance aligned with supporting stability and economic recovery, cautioning against potential unrest.
‘We should tell ourselves, our children at home and our family members that there is nothing like protest in Lagos state. It is not good. Recall the one they did before where they destroyed so many of our public assets. Do not allow your children be used to by some people who give them money to go and start fighting and destroying things.”
‘’So please let us talk to ourselves. There is nothing like protest in Lagos state because the government is making us proud. They are making us proud. The state government is doing us well and for the one in the center, they just came into office. Before you say a government has not done well, you have to allow them to spend at least three years in office.”
