KACRAN urges calm, warns against violent protests

The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria(KACRAN) ,appeals to protesters to Suspend planned demonstrations and calls on federal,state, and local governments to take necessary actions.

The KACRAN national president Hon.Khalil Mohd Bello made the called on Wednesday while briefing journalists in Damaturu.

Khalil stated that,KACRAN as an association dedicated to fostering peace and unity between farmers, herders, and the good people of Nigeria,strongly urged the protesters to suspend their planned demonstration.

According to Khalil,although they acknowledge that Nigerians are experiencing severe hardships ,including extreme hunger and other difficulties that make life unbearable due to the removal of oil subsidies, increased NEPA bills, and skyrocketing prices of food and essential commodities,but firmly believe that protests will not achieve the desired objectives,Instead,the will likely worsen the situation.

"Protests, in our understanding ,signify a rejection of certain government policies and programs for specific reasons stated by the protesters.In clearer terms,protests often represent a revolt against government actions or unwelcome decisions, which frequently lead to clashes between protesters and government forces,resulting in loss of lives and property, including those of innocent people who have no involvement in the protests.

"Another reason for our serious concern is that protests in Nigeria often produce highly regrettable negative outcomes, which are more harmful to the protesters, the governed, and the rulers than providing solutions to the issues at hand".

He further revealed that, protests are likely to be hijacked by miscreants who steal and destroy property is another reason why protests are not the solution to the current problems of high living costs and lack of money to buy the now costly food.

Khalil stated that,their association is not in favor of protests and urges the parties involved to engage in peaceful dialogue to solve our country's economic hardships.

He called on the Federal Government to thoroughly review the protesters' demands with a view to addressing what can be met.Also plead with the protesters to reduce their demands to acceptable levels.To embark on the massive importation of food and other essential commodities and distribute them free of charge to our people for at least three months before the harvest period.

At the state level, KACRAN called on State Governments to purchase large quantities of food items and distribute them through their State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMA) and other relevant agencies.

"We also urged our Local Governments to allocate substantial funds to purchase food items for immediate distribution to our local populace, particularly those residing in villages and rural areas".
