Traditional Rulers in Nigeria have asked the organisers of #EndBadGovernance protests to channel their frustrations into meaningful dialogue with the Federal Government.

They also warned against the possibility of the protests being hijacked by elements whom, they say, mean no good for the country.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba ADEYEYE OGUNWUSI, who co-chairs the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, said this when he addressed newsmen after an expanded cabinet meeting at the State House, Abuja.

The Ooni, who promised that the traditional rulers would engage their people back home, appealed to organisers to embrace dialogue, saying the government remains open to talking.

On his part, the Dein of Agbor Kingdom, IKENCHUKWU KEAGBOROKUZI, appealed to Nigerian youths to work with the Federal Government using all available opportunities.

The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, who described Nigerian youths as the nation’s strength, acknowledged the displeasing challenges confronting them but said that the #EndBadGovernance protests would not solve the nation’s problems.

Also speaking, the Emir of Zazzau, AHMED BAMALLI, said that the traditional rulers were worried about the protests as they could shut down the country.
