On the second day of the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests tagged ’10 Days of Rage’ in Rivers State, the protesters on Friday stated President Bola Tinubu is the ‘father of protests’ in Nigeria.
The aggrieved Nigerians blocked the primary entrance into the Federal Secretariat, situated alongside Aba Street in Port Harcourt.
Recall that the protesters, numbering over 2,000 had on the primary day of the protests on Thursday laid a short siege on the federal secretariat entrance earlier than transferring to Authorities Home, Port Harcourt, the place they had been addressed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The scenario brought on an enormous visitors gridlock alongside the ever-busy Port Harcourt-Aba highway, forcing motorists to make use of different routes.
Our Correspondent noticed that the State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Olatunji Disu, and his entourage, comprising of over eight patrol vans and an Armoured Personnel Provider (APC), later got here to pacify the protesters to go away the key roads.
Nonetheless, talking with LEADERSHIP, among the protesters accused President Tinubu of being the key sponsor and beneficiary of protests within the nation.
They puzzled why the President could be calling on Nigerians to not take part in a peaceable protest geared toward addressing the nation’s challenges.
