Chief Adoji Aliku, the Aren Eggon Karu of Nasarawa, has urged protesters nationwide to withdraw from the streets and embrace dialogue with the government.
Aliku made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Karu Nasarawa.
The protest began on Aug.1 nationwide.
“The #EndBadGovernance protest is causing chaos, suspending the protest and dialoguing with the government will be the right option and decision.
“I urge parents to caution their children against further participation in the ongoing protest,” he said.
He added that though protest was a constitutional right of every Nigerian when it becomes violent, the same constitution prohibits it.
“As a traditional ruler, my appeal to parents is for them to caution their children against violence and destruction of public and private property,” he said.
Aliku said he understands the hardship Nigerians are going through.
