The ongoing protest against widespread hunger and scarcity of essential commodities across the country resumed on Wednesday in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital. This is coming a few days after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed Nigerians in a national broadcast.
Tinubu , on Sunday during the national broadcast said that he had heard the messages of the protesters loud and clear. Our correspondent however reports that a group of protesters assembled at the front of the University of Ibadan to continue with the protest on Wednesday. The protesters who are mainly human rights activists and youths were seen around the main gate of the university Wednesday morning. The protesters carried different placards to communicate their demands to the public.
Emiola said, 'We are protesting because the President failed to address the needs of the Nigerian masses. He has failed to address the needs of the people. 'He said all the demands of the people, the solution to it is rice palliative. And we are tired of eating rice. A bag of rice now is ninety thousand naira. 'I as a person, don't have a piece of rice in my house now, not to talk of having a congo or rice. That means we Nigerians, we are suffering.
