Former Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to the ongoing nationwide protests against bad governance, economic hardship, and hunger in Nigeria.

In a tweet on Friday night, he offered a prayer for peace, quoting a verse from the Quran: “FRIDAY PRAYER: ‘My Lord, make this (Nigeria) a land of peace.’ – Holy Quran – Surah Al-Baqarah (2:126).”

The demonstrators, rallying under the #EndBadGovernance banner, are demanding a reduction in petrol pump prices to N200 per litre, an end to insecurity, the closure of IDP camps, and electoral reforms, among other issues.

While the protests started peacefully, they have turned violent in several cities, leading to clashes between police and protesters.

Reports indicate that at least 17 people have been killed in various states, including Abuja, Kano, Niger, Borno, Kaduna, and Jigawa.

One person was shot dead in both Abuja and Kano, two were killed in Jigawa, six in Niger, four in Borno, and three in Kaduna.

On Friday, police dispersed protesters with tear gas, resulting in many injuries.

The situation remains tense as the country grapples with the social and economic challenges fueling the unrest.
