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 principle 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 quick siege on the federal secretariat entrance earlier than shifting to Authorities Home, Port Harcourt, the place they had been addressed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The state of affairs precipitated an enormous site visitors gridlock alongside the ever-busy Port Harcourt-Aba highway, forcing motorists to make use of various 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 depart the foremost roads.
Nonetheless, talking with LEADERSHIP, a few of the protesters accused President Tinubu of being the foremost sponsor and beneficiary of protests within the nation.
They puzzled why the President can be calling on Nigerians to not take part in a peaceable protest geared toward addressing the nation’s challenges.
