A group of protesters in their hundreds on Monday staged a peaceful demonstration in the city of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, calling on President Bola Tinubu to address the issues of insecurity and hunger in the country.
The protesters, who are mostly youths, said they are fed up with the current state of affairs in Nigeria and are demanding concrete action from the government.
They wielded placards with inscriptions such as ‘The poor are starving,’ ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, among others.
Policemen were seen guarding the protesters against taking law into their hands.
This is happening few weeks after residents of Kano, Niger, Lagos and some other parts of the country took to the streets over economic hardship in the country.
