Vice President Kashim Shettima has appealed to the youths to shun the planned nationwide protest slated to begin on August 1.

Shettima, according to a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by his media aide, Mr. Stanley Nkwocha, made the appeal at the palace of the Shehu of Borno, Dr. Abubakar El-Kanemi, in Maiduguri.

The Vice President was the Special Guest of Honour at the wedding ceremony of four daughters of the Shehu of Borno.

H noted that it is time for unity and focused development in the country.

He stressed that protest has never been a solution for nations to solve their challenges, but rather an avenue for destruction of human lives and properties.

The Vice-President, who called for peace and unity, appealed to Nigerians to shun the planned protest.

He said: “I want to use this opportunity to call on our people to eschew violence. There can never be development without peace; there can never be peace without development.

“I wish to implore all our youths not to follow the part of anarchy and destruction.”

He implored Nigerians to keep faith with the Federal Government.

“In no distant time all of the administration’s efforts at emphatically repositioning the nation as one with the most powerful economy and social welfare for its citizens will become obvious,” he stated.
