Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, yesterday, identified decades of maladministration as the main cause of incessant protests in the country.<\/p>\n
Yahaya made this disclosure when he received a coalition of Gombe youths and Gombe students groups on a solidarity visit to the Gombe State Government House against the planned nationwide protest, tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The governor said, \u201cI have heard the demands and protest that you have brought on behalf of the youths. No leader in his senses will encourage violence to prevail in society. If violence is allowed, it means there will be no peace and when there is no peace, you can\u2019t go to school and what will follow is the universities will be closed, colleges, secondary and primary schools; will you allow that to happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lamenting the possible consequences of violent protest, Yahaya added, \u201cIf violence comes and takes place, it will mean all our markets will have to close and there will be disruption, will you allow that to happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
Blaming the root cause of the protest on decades of maladministration Yahaya added, \u201cThe leadership under my humble self is ready to give you protection, support you and we have been doing that, that is what President Bola Tinubu is doing at the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, there are issues that is happening in Nigeria about maladministration, and miscalculations that took place over the past decades and it\u2019s we as leaders that will now correct all the mistakes and take this country forward to the next level, that is the target, that is why President Tinubu introduced students\u2019 loan scheme, as a support for students and parents, and that is why despite calls in Gombe State for students fees to be increased, I said no.<\/p>\n
“We didn\u2019t increase because we want you to get free, quality education to the best of our ability.\u201d<\/p>\n
The governor urged those insisting on protest to get necessary approvals, adding \u201cWe say no to protests, demonstrations, we say no to the trouble people are trying to cause in the country despite the economic hardship that will take Nigeria to prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n
