The Delta State government has provided a conducive learning environment for our students and is investing more in infrastructure on campus and we don\u2019t want any protest that is capable of destroying these infrastructures on campus,\u201d Monday stated.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a communique\u0301 signed by Blessed Ughere, the national president of \u201cOsu re Ighele,\u201d also said that Urhobo youths would not be party to the proposed protest.<\/p>\n<p>The communique read: \u201cGiven the current security challenges affecting Delta Central (Urhobo Nation) and Urhobos in other parts of Delta State, we firmly believe that engaging in protests now would be counterproductive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we categorically state that we will not support any form of protest across Urhoboland in Delta State by any group or individuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEngaging in such protests risks exacerbating the existing security challenges in the country, creating opportunities for criminal elements to exploit innocent citizens and instigate further chaos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appeal to all concerned groups and individuals to refrain from organising any protests within any Urhobo kingdom in Delta State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also urge all Urhobo sons and daughters, as well as residents in Urhoboland, to boycott the proposed protest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, the leaders of the non-indigene community in the state, comprising Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo, Idoma, Tiv, Edo and others, have distanced themselves from the protest.<\/p>\n<p>This was disclosed at a press conference in Asaba.<\/p>\n<p>In a communique\u0301 read by Babatunde Ishmael, the non-indigene leaders said that after a careful review, the non-indigene community executive agreed that while there is actual economic hardship in the country, it is a global issue that responsible governments have been addressing.<\/p>\n<p>According to the communique\u0301: \u201cThe non-indigene community Executive also believes that another round of protests after the last #EndSars protests will actually worsen the precarious economic and security situation being witnessed in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 10-day nationwide protest is billed to start on August 1 across the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
