Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has declared his support for the End Bad Governance protest against the heightened cost of living and other crisis under President Bola Tinubu.

Governor Yusuf stated that he is prepared to join the protests because it is the democratic right of citizens.

He made this statement at a stakeholders’ meeting in Kano Government House on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.

Yusuf said, “For us, protest is a democratic right of every citizen. I want the protesters to carry out their procession with caution, as some criminal elements plan to hijack the protest.

“If you embark on a peaceful procession, I will receive you, and if you wish, I’ll join you,” he said.

The Governor’s comments come as Nigerians take to the streets for a nationwide protest over the economic hardships caused by soaring food prices.

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s calls for Nigerians to shelve the protests and give him more time to resolve the crisis.
