Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has urged market women to advise their children against participating in the planned August 1 hunger protest.
Mrs Ojo, who is the Iyaloja general of Lagos, stated this when she visited Dosumu Market in Lagos State.
While urging them to warn about the dangers of protesting, the president’s daughter cited the destruction caused by previous protests, including the EndSARS demonstration, to buttress her points.
She also alleged that the protesters are being sponsored by some opposition politicians in the country.
“Let’s talk to ourselves, our children and our families that there is nothing like protesting in Lagos, it is just a ploy to destroy the country. See the last protest and the damage that was caused. Let’s not because a party is paying some people to fight, let’s not allow our children to participate.”
According to her, the Lagos State Government has made significant progress and deserves the support of the market women.
She explained that the government that has not spent three years in office cannot be fairly criticised.
“There is nothing like protest in Lagos State because the government of Lagos State is making us proud. They are making us happy, they gave us a sense of belonging.
“The government at the centre just assumed office. Before you say a government is not doing well, let it last three years, at least.
“Prevention is better than treatment. We will not suffer loss of lives. Let everyone warn her children.”
