Inasmuch as they have their right to peaceful protest, others have their right to free movements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the dangers of violent protest is we will scare developers away from the state and Nigeria at large. For instance, the Delta State Government has paid heavily for the construction of flyovers within PTI Junction, Enerhen Junction and DSC Roundabout. Surprisingly, construction giant Julius Berger evacuated the site during our monitoring of the protest exercise for dear of the unknown so that hoodlums do not hijack the protest. Since the president has given us his word that NNPCL should sell crude oil to Dangote in naira as well as adopt other measures, I think we should give him some time because we don\u2019t want our state to be 10 years backwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that the violent protest during the ENDSARS in 2020 in Udu communities led to the destruction of many banks. \u201cThis is the reason we are calling for a peaceful protest,\u201d he said.<\/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.
