We Must Stop Further Bloodshed, Violence, Tinubu Mourns Victims Of Hunger Protests

President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the families of those who lost their lives during the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests.

He also condoled with those who lost property to the activities and looters.

Tinubu said this on Sunday morning in Abuja during his nationwide broadcast on the protests.

The President told Nigerians, “I speak to you today with a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility, aware of the turmoil and violent protests unleashed in some of our states.

“Notably among the protesters were young Nigerians who desired a better and more progressive country where their dreams, hopes, and personal aspirations would be fulfilled.

“I am especially pained by the loss of lives in Borno, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna, and other states, the destruction of public facilities in some states, and the wanton looting of supermarkets and shops, contrary to the promise of protest organisers that the protest would be peaceful across the country.

“The destruction of properties sets us back as a nation, as scarce resources will be again used to restore them.
