Lagos: Pro-Tinubu group, #EndHunger protesters stage clash at Ojota
On Thursday, two opposing groups staged protests at the Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota, in Lagos.
One group protested what the members described as hardship in Nigeria, while the other challenged the first group’s protest against the government.
The first group, led by Abiodun Kolawole, also known as Iya Gani Fawehinmin, carried placards with different inscriptions calling for an end to hardship.
Police officers tried to persuade the pro-government group to stage their protest inside the park, the group declined, claiming they could be attacked.
The group protesting hardship urged President Bola Tinubu to punish looters and take steps to make things easy for the masses.
The group leader, Ms Kolawole, said they were out to exercise their rights as Nigerians and draw attention to the hardship citizens face due to the economic problems.
She called on Mr Tinubu and the governors to address Nigeria’s high cost of living.
Speaking on behalf of the second group, one Azeez Anomuyiwa said they were against the first group because they did not understand the present government.
