"You’ve No Right To Destabilize Nigeria" – Akpabio Warns Protesters

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has warned those planning to stage protests across Nigeria that while they have the right to do so, they do not have the right to destabilize the country.

Akpabio also accused politicians who lost out during the last general elections of being the brains behind the protest to take over the government through the backdoor.

The Senate President stated this during the signing of the new Minimum Wage by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Monday.

He said that he was excited about the Nigerian worker and the National Minimum Wage amendment.

“It is a great day for the workers in the country. We are not only doubling the minimum wage, we have added something on top. Initially, it was N30,000, now it is N70,000.

“I want to use this opportunity to call on those who are attempting to foment trouble; that you have a right to protest. It is your fundamental right. It is there in the constitution.

“But you don’t have a right to destabilize the country. The right to protest should not be turned into the right to unleash violence. It’s very clear that people who are behind this are very amorphous, very faceless.

“So what it means is people are preparing to loot and go round and do all sorts of things. Where we are today was not caused by one year’s administration,” he said.
