TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the protest took a new and unprecedented turn after passion-driven youths came out in the numbers in compliance of its organizers who had earlier pledged to conduct a one-million-man protest across all 36 states and the nation’s capital.
Recall, the Hunger protests kicked started on August 1 as many Nigerians from all corners of the country trooped out in mass to demand the government’s attention, over the country’s harsh economy that has seen the Naira greatly devalued and the cost of living reaching new levels.
President Bola Tinubu, had addressed the nation after three days of demonstrations asking protesters to leave the streets as their voices had been heard.
Despite the president’s address, the protests which were largely peaceful went awry in some parts of the country, especially in the northern region, as looting and destruction of both public and private enterprises becomes the order of the day. Due to the violences, the protest was shut down.
The organizers of the one-million-man protest notes that it is to signify the grand finale of the hunger protest.
In the photos and video seen on social media, protesters took to the streets in the early hours of Saturday, displaying various placards and chanting, “we are hungry’’ among others.
