Oyo Youths Protest High Cost Of Living by Eriokanmi: 9:21pm On Feb 19 |
By Adekunle Sulaimon Youths in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, on Monday, hit the street to protest the skyrocketing price of food and the state of the economy. The PUNCH observed that protesters gathered around the Mokola area in the state wielding placards with various inscriptions such as ‘End food hike and inflation,’ ‘The poor are starving,’ and ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises,’ among others. They were also chanting songs to show their grievances. Armed policemen were seen at the protest scene. Speaking during the protest, a man who craved anonymity said, “The problem affects everyone. Every Nigerian should stand for their right and must collectively fight this high cost of living. We cannot afford three square meals. “Sections 39 and 40 of the country’s constitution empower every Nigerian to organise peaceful assembly and to speak about the economic hardship. This protest is a continuous action, so expect protest from any angle. It is not about me alone but about Nigerians. “We must collectively fight for this and make sure that things are brought back to normalcy,” he added. Another protester who identified herself as Barakat stressed that the hunger in the land is becoming unbearable, adding, “Everything is going out of hand. We can even complete two square meals. We voted Tinubu so that he can make corrections to Buhari’s wrong but the problem has gone out of hand now.” The PUNCH reports that youths and women took to the streets in Niger State in protest of what they called the biting hardship and the rising cost of living in the country. The protest started when a group of women blocked the Minna-Bida Road at the popular Kpakungu Roundabout to lament what they termed the sufferings under the Bola Tinubu government. They were later joined by men and youths who barricaded the road and halted vehicular traffic. The economic situation in the country had become unbearable following the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Tinubu on May 29, 2023 https://punchng.com/breaking-ibadan-residents-protest-high-cost-of-living/?amp |

Protest will not solve anything for now. So many people will not survive this government, some are already dead. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
