He said “the national protest against ‘bad governance’ that occurred in some states of the federation saw many youths participating in the demonstrations and engaging in wanton destruction of properties demanding for change and reforms that is already being embarked upon by the present administration led by His Excellency, our father President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
