We will protest until Tinubu accede to our demands – protesters
Protesters have stated that the demonstrations will continue until President Bola Tinubu addresses their demands.
They have urged the president to take necessary actions, after which the protests would be immediately called off.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Damilare Adenola, the Director of Mobilisation for the Take It Back Movement, expressed frustration over what he described as prolonged oppression under the president’s leadership.
The protesters are pushing for changes to alleviate the economic hardships and governance issues they believe have persisted for too long.
He said, “The various court orders restricting protesters to particular locations are an aberration.
”Our presence here today is an announcement that we have been oppressed for too long.
“Today, we have risen. We saying to the president that unless President Bola Tinubu accede to our demands we will remain on the streets. We want to see the president on the street. During the protest, he was on the street.”
One of the leaders of the Take It Back Movement, Ayoola Babalola, said the show of force around the premises of the Moshood Abiola is an embarrassment to the nation.
He vowed that protesters would not be intimidated.
