The Kano State Students’ Council has warned against the planned nationwide protest over the rising living costs.
At a news conference in Kano on Sunday, the council’s chairman, Yahaya Kabo, urged protest organisers to be cautious and open to negotiation.
Mr Kabo, who urged students to boycott the protest, stated that the council separated itself from the planned protest and any other anti-government movement because the president was addressing the country’s concerns.
“It has come to our notice that some bad eggs from opposition parties are calling Kano state students to come out and protest. I, Comrade Yahaya Usman Kabo, as the chairman of the Kano State Students’ Council, call on the entire Kano State Students to stay away from any form of protest.
“This protest is organised by unknown people who are enemies of democracy and the country called Nigeria.
“The genesis or cause is not the economic hardship, but because they lost the election and don’t want to accept it in good faith. They want to cause violence and chaos,” he said.
