A group of concerned Nigerians has condemned the wanton destruction of property, killings and maiming of innocent citizens and ethnicization by rioters and hoodlums trying to ignite a religious and ethnic conflict in the country.
The group, in a statement jointly signed by 41 persons, called on Nigerians to remain calm and avoid retaliation or taking the law into their hands.
The group also commended the youth who have been courageous and patriotic in their demands for the protection of their rights and for a better Nigeria.
They urged that all Nigerians should support these demands which have been without any ethnic or religious colouration.
The group also urged the protesters to remain law-abiding and patriotic and not to engage in any intimidation or harassment of ordinary citizens or engage in any form of violence.
They appealed to parties and stakeholders to work for speedy resolution of the crisis.
The group also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take urgent steps to address the widening trust deficit between the Government and the President on the one hand, and the Nigerian youth and its people on the other.
