*2024 PROTEST: Please Give the Govt Time to Right their Wrongs, UNITED NATIONS POLAC – Adesanya-Davies
*”It’s also time to right the wrongs!” UN-POLAC tells Government!
The Country President of the United Nations Positive Livelihood Award Centre (UNITED NATIONS-POLAC) Professor Mercy Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies has called on the organisers of the national protest dubbed “End Bad Governance” and “End Hunger Now” in Nigeria to please “Give the Government more time to right the wrongs, as the ongoing protests over the hardship faced by the nation, run into days”.
The chieftain appeals, “There should be No Killings, No Molestations and No Destruction of Properties!” God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.
Adesanya observed by yesterday, 2nd of August 2024, that news reports have observed killings and wanton destructions with protests, demonstrations and the use of hashtags
#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria and #EndHungerNow.

The protesters rightly want the government to bring down the price of fuel, give proper wages, offer free education, fix the roads, provide electricity, end insecurity, declare a state of emergency on inflation and disclose lawmakers’ pay, among several demands.
However, Amb Prof. Adesanya continues to plead with the protesters on the protest which commenced on 1st August 2024, “to give the federal government more time to right their wrongs and that of the past administrations.”
Adesanya-Davies in the press statement, added, “The hardship as noticed in Nigeria is a global phenomenal, so let us sue for peace and
seek for meaningful dialogue for a lasting solution, as President Bola Tinubu administration is frantically battling to right the wrongs and deliver to us all the dividends of democracy to Nigeria.”
“Let us remember that President Bola Tinubu has fought and struggled in the past for democracy to be established in Nigeria and let us toe the path of conscience and peace to avoid more loss of lives and wanton damages of properties please.”
She in the same vein calls on the Federal government, “To urgently look into the hardship occasioned by the subsidy removal and plight of the suffering masses in the country to avoid completely any form of protest in our nation both now and in future, saying the government can do better.”
Adesanya-Davies, who while mourning during the END SARS PROTEST wrote several books on the END SARS, in tears pleads, saying, NOT AGAIN, PLEASE, PLEASE AND PLEASE youths, we don’t want lives wasted and properties destroyed again like during the END SARS PROTEST.
