A coalition of civil society organisations under the umbrella of One Voice Nigeria Monday has proceeded with the planned protested without its chief convener -Tuface Idibia.
According to co-convener, Ezenwa Nwagwu, the protest is an aggregation of the groaning of the Nigerian people under the present economic challenges rocking the nation.
He said the protest is a formal appeal to all elected officials in the country to rise to the challenges of their respective offices and find a lasting solution to the hardship faced by Nigerians.
The One Voice Nigeria Protest that 2BABA backed out of over the weekend held today. Participants started trooping in as early as 8am and not only were they carrying placards with different inscriptions about the state of the country but they were also talking to media houses about their frustrations and what they hope to get in the future.
Comedian and Actor Seyi Law spoke about the Protest over the weekend on his instagram page that even though Innocent Idibia AKA 2BABA backed out he would be there, and true to his word he showed up wearing his green jersey and joined the protesters in talking about the economic downturn of the country.
There were undergraduates as well as jobless graduates and also those who have jobs but are just not happy with how the country is going. Some of the grievances of the protesters are the failing health and education sector, the unemployment rate, exchange rate amongst others.
There are lots of Policemen and Military men at the Stadium where the protest is being held to protect the protesters and to keep the protest violent free.
