Senator Ali Ndume has said President Tinubu should address the planned nationwide protest over economic hardship using dialogue.
Giving the advice on Monday ahead of the planned protest billed for August 1 across the country, he said talking with the organisers, who are mostly youths, would calm the tension in the land, and avert the planned demonstrations.
His position is shared by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, which is calling for dialogue between President Tinubu and the leaders of the planned demonstration.

In a statement on Monday, the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, said President Tinubu should invite the leaders of the planned protest and listen to their grievances.
According to the NLC leader, with inflation reaching a new high of 34.19 per cent coupled with the hike in food and electricity tariffs among others, there is a need for the nation’s president to address Nigerians.
