Nigerians have taken a swipe at Omoyele Sowore, African Action Congress candidate for the 2023 presidential election for insisting the hunger protests continue on Monday.
This comes after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday
appealed to Nigerians to suspend the protests to dialogue with the government
over the challenges facing the Nation.
To this end, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of
Lagos State, Jibril Gawat said on his X account that protest leaders in Ojota
have declared to suspend the demonstration after Tinubu’s speech.
However, in response to Gawat’s post, Sowore insisted that
the protest continue on Monday, adding details of demonstration locations.
Meanwhile, Nigerians took a swipe at Sowore over his recent
call.
@Bellotec: “If you like, listen to him, you will just die
and die for nothing. Those who were killed yesterday in the Kurna/Bacirawa axis
of Kano died for nothing, nothing will change, and nobody will be prosecuted,
only leaving their family to grief. If you like, no listen, you won’t rest in
peace sha.”
@bolajiayo: “Why don’t you come with your children and lead
the protest? Why instigate other people’s children to go out and protest? What
happened to your children? Abi they are not patriotic Nigerians?
@computizzy1: “Nah, bro. People are going back to work
tomorrow. This shit ain’t working and they’re tired of it. You gonna have to
fly down from the US to come run it yourself. You can still get flights from
EWR or JFK that’ll get you to Lagos tomorrow morning.”
Tinubu’s broadcast comes after at least 15 have been
reported dead, and several properties destroyed in Kano, Kaduna, Niger, Yobe
and other parts of the country in the first three days of the protests, tagged
#EndBadGovernance.
