Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the 19 northern states and Abuja, says it is worried over the fear and apprehension the planned nationwide protest against hunger and economic hardship has generated among citizens.
The Secretary of the forum, Elder Sunday Oibe, in a statement on Saturday said the planned protest is an indication that things have gone really bad in the country and advised the government to acknowledge that in a democracy, citizens have the right to peaceful protest over issues affecting their welfare.
He explained that although Nigerians are resilient, they are now becoming hungry, angry and hopeless about the state of the Nigerian nation.
