NATIONWIDE PROTEST: PROTESTERS SHOUT DOWN MINISTER AT EAGLES SQUARE

Read Time:50 Second

Protesters at the Eagles Square shouted down the Minister of State for Youths Development, Ayodele Olawande, who arrived at the Eagles Square in Abuja to address the protesters.

Despite his attempts to address the crowd, their chants of “hunger dey” drowned out his words.

Once the crowd was subdued, the minister clarified that he was not trying to end the protest, but rather saw himself as a fellow activist, having participated in numerous protests ranging from a hundred to five hundred.

“I’m not here to fight you, I’m not here to ask you not to protest, it is your right. Like I said, I’ve been to over 100-500 protests,” he said.

The minister also assured that he would address the police regarding the shooting of canisters against the protesters.

Meanwhile, protesters have insisted they would not join the others at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, noting that a few days ago, a parallel protest had been held without interference by the police.
