As the #Endbadgovernance protests begin nationwide, some enraged protesters in Asaba have expressed their frustration with the country’s economic situation.
Despite appeal from Delta state Governor, Sheriff on restraining their activities, the angry demonstrators converged at roundabout.
An Asaba resident who identified himself as Ikechukwu Eze said he is crying out to end bad governance due to hunger. Meaning the hunger in the land forced him to come out on Thursday morning.
He insisted that the government must heed their demands, saying contrary to some speculations that the protests won’t hold, the demonstrations will be held from August 1 to August 10.
“Today is the hunger day, we all promise you that we are going to be the streets of Asaba. Hunger has brought me out, I don’t have money to buy fuel,” he said.
“I don’t have money to buy whatever, there is total bad governance. The government has used propaganda and fake news to tell you that the protests have been cancelled.
“The protests have not been cancelled, we are on the street. It is for 10 days. If our demands are not being met, we will remain on the streets. Hunger, insecurity, and poor housing have brought me out. A lot of things are going on in this country.”
