Ahead of the planned nationwide protest slated to begin on August 1, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has appealed to Nigerians particularly the youths to let peace reign.
The party in a statement signed by its spokesman, Hon. Seye Oladejo, on Wednesday said the mass destruction factored by the 2020 EndSARS protest which started as a harmless demonstration remains fresh in the minds of Nigerians.
It however urged the government at all levels to remain sensitive to the yearnings of our teeming population, most especially the youth, and uphold its onerous constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of all and sundry.

The party also called on the security agencies to uphold the best professional standards to forestall any unpleasant development.
The statement read, “While we acknowledge peaceful protests as an integral component of democratic governance, the predictable attendant violence and loss of lives and property remain undesirable.
In the past few days, we have watched with keen interest, most especially, on social media, the mobilisation for the protest, laced with bitterness, hate speeches, hostility divisiveness, and threats to citizens with contrary opinions.
The mass destruction of public and private assets during the EndSARS protest which started as a harmless demonstration remains fresh in our memory. The loss of targeted critical infrastructure across various sectors set our dear state back by decades and in billions.
We urge the government at the federal, state, and local levels to remain sensitive, attentive, receptive, and responsible to the yearnings of our terming population, most especially the youth, to continue to engender confidence and uphold its onerous constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of all and sundry.
We’re not unmindful of the political undertones with the otherwise moribund opposition fanning the embers of bloodletting to soothe their bruised ego as a result of losing the last national elections.
We take solace in the assurance that patriotic Nigerians will not be deceived into avoidable carnage by people with ulterior motives.”
The Lagos APC expresses commitment to fulfilling its part of the social contract with the citizens who have graciously entrusted us with the mandate.
