Protesters shouted down the Minister of State for Youths Development, Ayodele Olawande, who arrived at the Eagles Square in Abuja to address the protesters.

As the minister tried to address the crowd, the protesters continued to chant “hunger dey”, preventing the minister from speaking.

However, after quelling the crowd, the minister said he wasn’t attempting to shut down the protest, describing himself as a comrade who has attended between a hundred and five hundred protests.

“I’m not here to fight you, I’m not here to ask you not to protest, it is your right. Like I said, I’ve been to over 100-500 protests,” he said.

The minister also assured that he would address the police regarding the shooting of canisters against the protesters.

Meanwhile, protesters have insisted they would not the others at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, noting that a few days ago, a parallel protest had been held without interference by the police.

If the TINUBU led FG like, make them no handle am well e go clear for their eyes.
I like the fact that despite the unnecessary threat and attempted intimidation, the protesters were able to make a statement.

People defied the massive hunger and threat of death, and you think you can just stand up and talk? He should have come with 20 trucks load of fried Abacha, rice and cartons of beer before he can address boys

As a member of the oppressor, repressive and suppressive government, all he will say or do there will all be about sycophancy for government in giving another round of illusory promises that remain what they are.

The reverse of a bull is not an act of cowardice but an act of gathering momentum. Nigerians have been pushed to the wall and are coming with full force.

And some are still glamoring for us to give Tinubu time? Time to do what exactly.
