A handful of youth on Thursday thronged the Moshood Abiola stadium, Abeokuta, the state capital to express their grievances and concerns on the economic hardship facing the country. The #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest is scheduled to occur in all 36 states as well as the Federal Capital Territory between August 1 and August 10.
DAILY POST observed that youth who came in few numbers arrived at the stadium at at past 11 am carrying placards with various inscriptions such as “ Hunger is in the land” “ We are after peace and progress “ “ What is right INEC” “ I just want to live, stop suffocating” among others. The Ogun State High Court on Wednesday had restricted the movement of the protesters to four different locations across the state. The court also restricted the time frame of the protests to between 8 am and 5 pm.
“We have to respect citizens' rights, our reservation is that we don’t want miscreants to hijack this protest but good enough most of the organizers have seen reasons and voluntarily backed off from being part of the protest. But we are here to provide cover for them and allow them to exercise their constitutional right.
