‘If You See Tinubu, Akpabio, Tell Them There’s Hunger’ – Nigerian Women March In Abuja, Join Protests
The women who were singing in front of the National Stadium in Abuja called on the President Bola Tinubu’s government to tackle the hunger Nigerians are currently facing as a result of his failed policies.
Hundreds of Nigerian women under the aegis of Women Against Hunger have held a massive rally against the current economic crisis in Nigeria.
The women who were singing in front of the National Stadium in Abuja called on the President Bola Tinubu’s government to tackle the hunger Nigerians are currently facing as a result of his failed policies.
“If you see Tinubu, tell am say Hunger dey, if you see Akpabio, tell am say we dey for Stadium, hunger dey. If you see Shettima, tell am say hunger dey,” the women chorused in pidgin English in the video.
A remarkable scene had also unfolded on Saturday when a woman of over 70 years old joined the one-million-man march in Oyo State, lending her voice to the ongoing protest.
The septuagenarian was seen in a video made available to SaharaReporters lamenting the current economic crisis in Nigeria.
She said, “We are not violent protesters. Help us to beg President Bola Tinubu to pity us. We are hungry. And his government has turned many people into baggers. He should pity us. He should do this government better. We are not fighting. We are only protesting peacefully.”
“Grand Finale #EndBadGovernaceInNigeria the elders are out to hear their grievances #IbadanProtest we are not backing down on the struggle for total liberation. The old aged are involved in protesting against #Hardship in the land,” one of the protesters captioned the video on X.
SaharaReporters had reported that thousands of Oyo State residents staged a one-million man rally to mark the 10th day of the ongoing nationwide protest against bad governance in Nigeria.
The protesters who displayed several placards in Ibadan, the state capital, to protest against the current economy were heard shouting “Ole” (thief).
Also, that a large number of concerned Nigerians and activists on Saturday morning joined the ongoing one-million-man March in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
This was stated in a video shared by Omoyele Sowore, human rights activist and #RevolutionNow convener.
In the video, the protesters were seen chorusing “Solidarity forever, we always fight for our rights.”
“It’s not a bad idea if the giants of Africa has 24 hours of uninterrupted supply,” one of their placards read.
