Ahead of Tinubu national broadcast, protect rocks Osun
Members of civil society on Monday took to the streets in Osogbo, Osun State capital, to protest against economic hardship being faced by Nigerians.
This came ahead of a national broadcast by President Bola Tinubu fixed for 7pm on Monday (today).
The Osun protesters said they were against the recent petrol subsidy removal, naira floating and other reforms of the Tinubu-led administration.
The civil society a week ago issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government within which to put in place palliatives to cushion the effects of the removal of petrol subsidy on Nigerians.
The chairman of the coalition, Waheed Lawal, said there was no gainsaying the fact that there is poverty, hunger, confusion and frustration in the land, adding that anger was bottling up and that it was just a matter of time for Nigerians to vent their anger.
Members of the human rights group had earlier converged in the Ayetoro area of Osogbo at about 8am, before moving to major areas of the city with placards to press home their demands.
