You tell us every time to endure, for how long?, Protesters ask Tinubu

Major cities across the country are witnessing protests as the highly anticipated nationwide hunger protest begins today.

Demonstrators are seen carrying placards and chanting slogans, with photos and videos flooding social media.

In a video shared by news platform Oxygist, a protester identified as Emmanuel explained his reasons for participating.

“Today is a hunger day. Hunger has brought me out. Insecurity has brought me out. I don’t have money to buy fuel. If our demands are not met, we will remain in the streets. We cannot keep quiet,” he said.

Hunger protesters on Thursday converged on the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
Another unidentified protester pleaded with the President, “Mr President, the hardship is too much. We are suffering in this country. You tell us every time to endure. For how long?”

Placards reading “Say no to hardship,” “End Bad Governance,” and others are visible in the videos.

Protesters in Lagos were seen singing “End bad governance,” while a group in Port Harcourt, aired by AIT, sang the old national anthem.

In Abuja, demonstrators chanted “Revolution” songs.

The protests, triggered by the prevailing economic hardship, are expected to continue until August 10, 2024.
