“This protest will resume at the beginning of October and might even start earlier depending on situational variables.”

What are the demands of hunger protesters?

The protest organizers are demanding the reversal of the fuel subsidies, an increase in the new minimum wage to N250,000, the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the suspension of the 1999 constitution and a new one.

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s televised appeal to end the protests, the organizers vowed to continue, saying his speech was not convincing.

The protest has sustained momentum in states like Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, and Bauchi, and organizers threatened to lock down the entire country today.

Some of the protesters in the northern region raised Russian flags during the demonstration, which raised security concerns from many Nigerians who saw it as a threat to the country’s sovereignty.
