President of the Congress, Mr. Joe Ajaero, on Monday, said the union would embark on a peaceful rally to express their grievances over the deteriorating economic crisis and high cost of living in the country.
Speaking with journalists, Ajaero said it is the responsibility of both parties to ensure the protest is peaceful.
He asked the federal government to provide security to members of the union as part of the fundamental rights of citizens as enshrined in the constitution.
He said members of the union will march to the national and state assemblies across the country to submit the demands to the lawmakers and government officials.
“The rally goes on but it’s part of their (government) constitutional responsibility to make sure that the rally is peaceful while we are going to try on our own side to make sure it is peaceful. That’s all,” Ajaero said.
