He, however, reaffirmed that his administration recognizes the democratic rights of the Nigerian youth to peaceful protests.

The president spoke while recieving the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, at the State House, Abuja, on Monday.

Speaking after the meeting, Dare quoted Buhari as saying: “Firstly he said, he recognizes their democratic rights to protest.

“Secondly, he made an appeal that this protest wherever held, should be done in a peaceful manner.

“And thirdly, he said the Nigerian youth should be on their guard to make sure that elements that would infiltrate and distract them from the very purpose of their protest should be prevented from doing so,’’ he said
