Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, praised the state’s peace and stability on Thursday, lauding the citizens’ conduct during the first day of the anti-hunger protest. He particularly commended the youth and students for their decision to refrain from joining the protest.
In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Lekan Adeniran, Abiodun emphasized that there were no protests in the state, attributing this to the youth’s adherence to the government’s advice against being manipulated by disgruntled politicians.
“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dynamic youths, committed students, and all the people of Ogun State for the exemplary manner in which you avoided participating in the nationwide protests. This demonstrates your dedication to justice, unity, and the progress of our society.
“I commend each of you for your discipline and determination in keeping our state peaceful. Your ability to uphold your beliefs while maintaining order and respect is truly admirable. It reflects the maturity and responsibility of our youth.
“I am especially thankful that your actions prevented any potential unrest or violence in our state. This not only shows your strength in unity but also your strong character. You have sent a powerful message that our voices can be heard without resorting to violence or destruction,” he said.
