Following the planned nationwide protest by women under the aegis of the Purple Women Foundation, allegedly sponsored by some aggrieved persons, the Niger Delta Youth Leaders Association has called on security agencies to take decisive action against the perpetrators.
The group, in a statement signed by Comrade Ufuoma Erharhine, emphasized that their call was necessary due to certain factions organizing demonstrations fueled not by genuine grievances but by external influences and agendas aimed at destabilizing the country.
According to the statement, “While we acknowledge the right to peaceful assembly as a cornerstone of our democracy, we must remain vigilant against movements intended to incite violence, unrest, and division among our citizens.”
“We urge the President to prioritize the safety and security of all citizens by directing intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate those behind the planned protests.”
“Investigating who is behind these initiatives is crucial for preventing any potential escalation that could lead to civil disorder and unrest.”
“The stability of our nation must remain paramount. History shows us that unrest often leads to unnecessary suffering and can have long-lasting effects on our communities and institutions.”
“We believe that thorough investigations are necessary not only to protect our great nation but also to uphold the democratic values we cherish.”
“We call for transparency in the findings of these investigations and urge the government to communicate with the public regarding measures being taken to ensure our safety and security.”
“We remain resolute in defense of the mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu without fear or favor, as the continuous attacks on Senate president Godswill Akpabio are attacks against the President and the people of the South-South.”
“We stand ready to support the government’s commitment to peace and order and the leadership of Senate president Godswill Akpabio.
“We call upon all stakeholders to do their part to foster peace because if these attacks do not stop, they will lead to unrest in the Niger Delta region,” the statement concluded.
