The ongoing nationwide protests in Nigeria have sparked a range of reactions both domestically and internationally. Bishop John O. Dickson, President of Friendship Church International Worldwide, has expressed concern over the situation, describing the protests as a significant embarrassment to the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Bishop Dickson stressed the need for the government to address the grievances of its citizens, stressing the importance of justice, fairness, and equitable treatment among Nigeria's diverse population. He also urged Nigerians to pray and seek divine intervention to prevent the situation from escalating further.
Meanwhile, Pastor Mrs. Esther Dickson condemned the shooting and looting by the protesters, calling for a thorough investigation and respect for human lives and rights as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution.
She urged aggrieved Nigerians to engage in peaceful and lawful demonstrations, cautioning against looting and the destruction of private and public property.
The protests, branded as "#EndBadGovernance," have highlighted the economic challenges facing Nigeria, with Bishop Dickson pointing out that corruption and lack of productivity have hindered the effective utilization of the country's human and natural resources.
He called for deliberate efforts to change this narrative and predicted a promising future for Nigeria if the government adopts and effectively implements sound policies.
