Protest: It’s Fire For Fire APC State Chairmen Unfold Combat Plans

APC State Chairmen have mobilised themsleves to fight of those determined to protest against the Bola Tinubu administration

The All Progressives Congress, APC is to unleash its structures across the country to counter the plot to topple the Bola Tinubu administration through the use of protest, the party’s state chairmen vowed on Monday.

According to the APC state chairmen, they have resolved to mobilise ward, and LGA structures of the party to challenge the protesters who they claim are bent on anarchy in the form of protest.

As part of their strategies, the APC state chairmen resolved to from Monday, July 29 publicise the good works of President Tinubu as a way of keeping the younger ones from the political mischief of those behind the planned protest.

Chairman of the Cross River State chapter and Secretary of the APC States Chairmen Forum, Alphonsus Ogar Eba (esq) made the stance known at a press conference at the National Secretariat of the APC on Monday.

Ogar who was flanked by the secretary of the state’s chairmen’s forum and chairmen from some other states said:

Our plans against protest – APC State Chairmen

“As the ruling party, we are prepared to meet every contestant in 2027 but we will not fold our arms and allow undemocratic forces to topple the government we worked so hard to elect into office. That will be a disservice to the good people of Nigeria who freely gave us this mandate.

“We call on all patriotic Nigerian to resist any attempt by any one or any group of persons to intimidate them into unorganised protest likely to endanger the peace we currently enjoy as a nation. We call on patriots to join forces with security agencies to report any criminal element who attempt to carry out any act of violence.

“Against this background, in the next two weeks commencing from today 29th July to 11th August 2024 and from this press briefing, which shall follow with a solidarity rally by all structures of our party across all political wards, LGAs and states capital including Abuja FCT, we shall embark on peaceful rally to re echo the laudable projects and the programs of President Tinubu with greater vigor to protect and defend our democracy from any attack by hoodlums or some criminal elements who wants to carry out violent protest.

“All our party men and concerned Nigerian in other political parties, are enjoined to stand firm in protection of democracy. It should be noted that violent protest being contemplated by the faceless group as contained in their charter of demand will annihilate the democratic ideals which all political parties subscribed to.

“This is unacceptable and we must resist it in the most civil manner by sensitising innocent and peace loving people of our country about the plans of failed politicians who want to get power through every illegitimate means by inciting ignorant Nigerians to embark on violent protest.

“Protest is a constitutional right when done through the rule of law. However, security reports have shown that it is counterproductive to embark on this protest this time as there are sinister arrangements by some unpatriotic persons to hijack the protest for the sole purpose of unleashing nefarious agenda to perpetrate violence and indulge in high level criminality reminiscent of the 2020 Endsars protest and the recent experience in Kenya.

“It is our humble view that this will worsen our already challenging socio economic situation and that is why we have decided to join our voices to make this appeal to all Nigerians,” the APC state chairmen said of their plans against the protest.
