Violent Protests Will Affect Disabled Nigerians – Tolu Bankole

A member of the All Progressives Congress National Working Committee, Tolu Bankole has come out to express concerns over the safety of Persons With Disabilities ahead of the current nationwide protest.

He recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, persons with disabilities are among the most vulnerable in our society, and any violence or disruption from protests could have serious adverse effects on them.

Bankole added that it is best for protesters to seek peaceful methods of engagement to ensure their safety and well-being.

His words, “The risk of such demonstrations being hijacked and spiralling into violence is significant, and I stress that our priority should be to engage in constructive dialogue with government officials at all levels. We must avoid a repetition of the unfortunate violence witnessed during the EndSARS movement.

Persons with disabilities are among the most vulnerable in our society, and any violence or disruption from protests could have disproportionately adverse effects on them. It is therefore imperative that we advocate for peaceful methods of engagement to ensure their safety and well-being.

President Bola Tinubu has implemented several policies aimed at revitalizing our economy and improving the standard of living for all Nigerians. I call on all stakeholders to channel their energies into meaningful dialogue and collaboration with the government, rather than risking escalation into violence. Together, we can work towards positive change while safeguarding the rights and lives of every Nigerian.”

WOW.
