Residents of Osun State have again stormed major streets of Osogbo in continuation of the #EndBadGovernance protest.

The protest, which enters day two on Friday saw protester trooped out enmasse on the major streets of Osogbo to press home their demands from the government.

The protesters insisted that they would not rest on their oars until when their demands are met by the government.

They said they came out en masses yesterday, and the government heard their demands, but turned deaf ears

NEWSUNPLUG recalled that protesters on Thursday stormed streets in protest against hunger and hardship in the country.

The protesters, under the aegis of Coalition of Concerned Nigerian Citizens had marched through major streets of the capital city starting from the popular Freedom Park.

They took the march to Olaiya Junction where they matched through the Gbongan-Ibadan road to the premises of the Osun State House of Assembly on Thursday.

They were also protests in Ile-Ife, where protesters chanted solidarity songs and carried banners bearing different inscriptions to drive home their messages.

They called on the Federal Government to address myriads of challenges confronting the nation.

Some of the inscriptions on their banners and placards read, “We want food price control with immediate effect,” “Revert fuel price to Pre-May 29, 2023 price,” “Local Government is the key to national and economic development,” among others.

Meanwhile, the protested in Friday had moved from Old Garage to Olaiya Junction as security operatives accompanied them, while ensuring there is no break down of law and order.

Speaking, the coordinator of Coalition of Concerned Nigerian Citizens, Ajala Adetunji called for reinstatement of corruption free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.

Adetunji said: “Hunger, poverty and bad policy that is affecting all of us. We are here not because of any political affiliation, not because anybody is given a dime, what we have seen is a function of the people and the community that we belonged to.

“The youth population is the largest population and they are the one suffering most. The office of the citizen is the highest office in the land.

“We are not afraid of anybody. What we have come to do is to exercise our rights. According to the constitution of Nigeria, we are here to establish what we are passing through. Many people are saying we should not come out. Why are they saying that.

“What we are fighting for is for the people. Petrol price is N800 today. It is not a question of either APC or PDP. What we are passing through in this country is affecting everybody.

“Tinubu should review the by policies. We are hungry. The protest is going to last for ten days. We are going to review our own in Osun because of Osun-Osogbo festival”

Also speaking, Chairman of the Committee for Defense of Human Rights, CDHR, Emmanuel Olowu noted that it was high time for federal government to probe past and present Nigeria leaders who have looted the Treasury, recover their loot, and deposited it in a special account to fund education, healthcare, and Infrastructure.

According to Olowu, government should endeavor to embark on massive investment in the public works and industrialization that will help employ Nigeria’s teeming youths.

He called for investment in education and give Nigeria students grants,not loans with aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria.

Meanwhile, security personnel were on ground to sustain peace and security of life and property as protest was done in a peaceful manner.
