Danladi Jatau, Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, has appealed to Nigerians to reconsider their planned 10-day nationwide protest, advocating for prayer and patience instead.
Jatau emphasized the importance of prayer in solving problems and urged support for the government’s efforts to address challenges.
He acknowledged the difficulties faced by Nigerians but noted that the government is implementing policies and programs to improve living standards, which require time to yield tangible results, according to Politics Nigeria.
The Speaker called for calm, particularly among the youth, and advised against taking the law into their own hands. He also urged security agencies to protect lives and property.
Jatau warned of potential negative repercussions from the planned protest and reassured the public of the Assembly’s commitment to passing laws and making resolutions to improve living standards in Nasarawa State.
He urged stakeholders to join hands with the government to address challenges facing the country, emphasizing the need for collective effort to achieve positive change.
“Prayer is key and a solution to every problem, and every leader needs the prayers and support of their people to succeed,” he said.
He acknowledged the challenges faced by Nigerians but emphasized that both short and long-term measures are being taken to address them.
“The problems are surmountable with both short and long-term measures.
“His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and our Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer A. A. Sule, are actively rolling out various intervention programs to address hunger and hardship in the land,” Jatau stated.
“I advise stakeholders—political, religious, and traditional—to join hands with the government to address the challenges facing the country.
“The 7th Assembly, under my leadership, is ready to provide all necessary support to address the hardship and other challenges facing society. We will do what is humanly possible to improve the standard of living of our people,” he promised.
