On Thursday, Dapo Abiodun, the Governor of Ogun State, praised the prevailing peace and calm within the state. He noted that the behavior of residents during the initial day of the anti-hunger demonstration was praiseworthy.

The governor specifically acknowledged the youth and students for opting not to participate in the protest. In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Lekan Adeniran, Abiodun emphasized that there were no protests occurring in Ogun State, as young people adhered to the government’s counsel to avoid being manipulated by discontented politicians.

I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank the energetic youth, devoted students, and all residents of Ogun State for your remarkable behavior in choosing to refrain from participating in the nationwide protests.

Your actions clearly demonstrate your dedication to justice, unity, and the improvement of our community. I applaud each one of you for your self-discipline and determination in maintaining peace within our state.

Your capacity to uphold your beliefs while fostering order and respect is truly admirable. This reflects the maturity and responsibility that our young people represent.
