The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has begged Yoruba people not to participate in the protests breaking out from some parts of the country over the current economic hardship in the country.

Residents of Kano, Ogun, Niger, Sokoto and Osun states have staged protests to express their displeasure on the rising cost of living.

The chairman of the organisation’s elders caucus, Reuben Fasoranti, in a statement  on Sunday, while acknowledging the hardship faced by the people, said that Nigerians have to be understanding of the current situation.
