While acknowledging the right to peaceful assembly, Akume urged Nigerians to reconsider participating due to potential risks, including possible hijacking by criminals.
He emphasized that the government is aware of the economic hardships but highlighted ongoing efforts and accomplishments intended to improve conditions.
Akume appealed for dialogue and collaboration over confrontation, stressing that maintaining peace and avoiding disruptions are crucial for national stability and progress. The government remains open to discussing grievances and seeks peaceful resolution.
