The Secretary of Concerned Youth For Development and Equity Initiative, Edo State, Comrade Raymond Omokaro, has expressed his unalloyed solidarity with the youths across the country over their agitation for good and quality governance to put an end to the perpetual corruption being carried out by those in power. He disclosed this in a press statement he made available to journalists in Benin.
Omokaro said: “I join in the struggles for the liberation of our dear great nation, Nigeria. A country suffering from her faulty foundation at which it was established, in 1999 Constitution.
He continued: “I call on our senior citizens, veterans, pensioners, labour unions to please join the ongoing demands from these patriots (the Nigerian youths) for a better tomorrow for our great nation.”
He noted that the Nigeria Police and its sister agencies are not left out as he, appealed to them to be civil in the discharge of their duties, stressing that peaceful assembly is a fundamental rights of citizens all over the world.
Omokaro further said that while the youths continue to envisage a Nigeria of their dreams, he urged them to ensure the ongoing protest remains peaceful and calm as the life of every citizen matters. He explained that it’s time to consolidate, heal and build a nation where there will be justice, peace, equity and fairness.
He urged the federal government to immediately ensure the implementation of Oronsaye report, Constitutional review to be set up, drastic reduction of crude refined product and local refineries should be encouraged at all cost.
Other issues raised by Omokaro included: Clearing cost of imported goods and services should be looked into; local manufacturers should be encouraged by provision of power supply to ensure cost of production is reduced; cost of governance should be reduced; welfare of Nigerian workers should be reviewed.
