The Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Bamalli, has appealed to the Nigerian youths to exercise patience with the Federal Government and shelve the planned nationwide protest.
Mr Bamalli made the appeal after a meeting between the traditional rulers and President Bola Tinubu at the State House on Thursday.
He said Mr Tinubu reveals his blueprint to the monarchs, assuring that the current economic challenges would soon be over.
The monarch also appealed to the government to expeditiously tackle the security challenges confronting in order to allow farmers return to their farmlands.
“The message we are taking back to our people is to be calm, exercise patience, and also listen to the words of wisdom coming from the government,” he said.
“The president has given us the blueprint of what he has been doing over time, and we are hopeful that by God’s grace, it will be alright.
“Though we have made it very clear to him, the main problem in this country, especially the north, is insecurity.
“If the security situation is addressed, certainly people will go back to their farms, and the issue of hunger will drastically reduce and disappear.
“There’s nobody that will not be worried about the protest in any place in the world, and we have seen what has happened in other countries and governments were brought down.
“As an ex-diplomat, I have seen what happened in other climes and that is why I am in the position to say what happened in other places.
“So, we are calling on our people to exercise patience and to listen to the words of wisdom. We are very optimistic Nigeria will bounce back to its former position as the leading country in Africa.”
