AS the #Endbadgovernance protests begin nationwide, some enraged protesters in Abuja have expressed their frustration with the country’s economic situation.
Despite the court order restraining their activities, the angry demonstrators converged at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in the nation’s capital.
An FCT resident who identified himself as Emmanuel Larry said hunger forced him to come out on Thursday morning.
He insisted that the government must heed their demands, saying contrary to some speculations that the protests won’t hold, the demonstrations will be held from August 1 to August 10.
“Today is the hunger day, we all promise you that we are going to be the streets of Abuja. Hunger has brought me out, I don’t have money to buy fuel,” he said.
“I don’t have money to buy whatever, there is total bad governance. The government has used propaganda and fake news to tell you that the protests have been cancelled.
“The protests have not been cancelled, we are on the street. It is for 10 days. If our demands are not being met, we will remain on the streets. Hunger, insecurity, and poor housing have brought me out. A lot of things are going on in this country.” – channelstv
