A former lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has advised Nigerians to focus on the upcoming election rather than staging protests over the naira and fuel scarcity in the country.
Sani, who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district in the 8th National Assembly, made this known via his Twitter page on Wednesday.
He also urged the southeast to resist any sit-at-home order that is geared towards boycotting elections in the region.
Sani tweeted, “The general public must avoid any form of protest in the name of cash or fuel scarcity at this 11th hour.
“The people in d southeast must defy any call for sit-at-home. Any spark is intended to lead to conflagration. Anti-democratic elements must be resisted. Let’s focus on the election.”
There have been series of protests against the persisting cash crunch brought about by the redesigning of the naira notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
On Wednesday, two commercial banks, Access bank, and Union bank were set ablaze by aggrieved youths in Delta state.
