Retired Generals Caution Nigerians against Adopting Kenya Protest Model to Resolve Issues
A group of retired generals have cautioned Nigerians against contemplating the adoption of the recent Kenya violent protest model over the current economic hardships in the country.
They said that Kenyan protest model was not suitable for resolving issues in Nigeria, especially under democratic rule.
The generals are members of the Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC).
Chairman of the board of trustees of the Centre, Retired General Chris Olukolade said the situation in Nigeria could be better managed with good consensus, discussions and consultations.
They, however, asked federal government to swiftly resolve the stalemate over the new national minimum wage to prevent the type of Kenya violent protests in Nigeria.
The generals also asked federal government to also resolve the stalemated Kano Emir Ship crisis.

According to him, they believe that such destructive protests in Nigeria will be the surest way of getting the government to solve our current economic challenges.
He said that much as the right to protest was guaranteed in the nation’s constitution, any form of destruction and violence in the name of protest should be avoided.
According to him, the Kenyan experience is not and should not be our democratic model.
Violence has no redeeming quality and any action that will lead to violence and destruction should be discouraged.
Nigeria is already assailed by multifaceted internal security challenges, and any call for violent protests will simply open the country up for opportunistic criminals.
They will take advantage and cause mayhem, destroy public facilities and endanger our peaceful existence.
The aftermath of ‘EndSars Protest’ is still fresh in our minds and we therefore call on our youths to shun anything that will engender crisis and destruction in any part of our country, he said.
Kolade called on the government to do more to de-escalate the tension in the polity by proactively addressing all the prevailing challenges confronting the nation.
He said the centre was deeply concerned about the rising tension and restiveness in some parts of the country.
