Youths in Ondo State stormed the streets of Akure, the state capital, on Tuesday to protest against the economic hardship currently ravaging the country.
The protesters under the aegis of #RevolutionNow who converged at the popular Cathedral intersection, lamented that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration had been unbearable for everyone.
The protest was monitored by the combined team of armed police officers and men of the State Security Services who mounted strategic locations within the Akure metropolis.
While demanding immediate action over the high cost of staple foods and inflation amid growing frustration on the price of petrol nationwide, one of the leaders, Kunle Ajayi, popularly known as ‘Wiseman,’ fumed that the government had not been sensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
Ajayi explained that the various “anti-people policies” of the current government have further plunged the country into an economic crisis, noting that Nigerians can no longer bear the hardship
