The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has commended President Tinubu for his call for dialogue with the protesters and his commitment to embracing dialogue.
Its Executive Director, Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, n a statement isshed Sunday acknowledged the President’s recognition of the grievances driving these protests.
He said CISLAC stands firmly with the demands for justice and reform within the administrative justice system and improved governance.
Rafsajani noted that this would ensure a just and prosperous nation where peace, freedom, and meaningful livelihoods are enjoyed under a transparent and accountable government.
He maintained that Tinubu and his appointees must stop their concerted efforts to link the protests and grievances of Nigerians to political agendas.
Such attempts, he said, would divert attention from the pressing reality of deep poverty affecting millions of Nigerians, saying instead, government should focus on inclusively improving the economy.
Rafsajani noted: “CISLAC emphasises the importance of maintaining peace, law, and order while upholding human rights in line with international conventions to which Nigeria is a signatory. The safety and security of all Nigerians are paramount.
“CISLAC calls on Nigeria’s security operatives to heed the President’s call for respect for human rights, ensuring that peace, law, and order are maintained in accordance with these principles. The President must also give a clear directive to the security agencies not to engage in human rights violations.”
