Some protesters have reportedly taken to the streets of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, on Monday, to demand the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The protest tagged #BuhariMustGo started in the early hours of Monday, with the protesters chanting “Buhari Must Go” and anti-government slogans.
Some of the protesters said they could not even burn a tyre because there was no fuel to do so, which was a veiled reference to how the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, had increased under the government of Buhari from N87 to about N160.
The protesters could be heard chanting: “Se na democracy be this, se na democracy be this, people dey die like flies, se na democracy be this (Is this a democracy? People are dying like flies, is this a democracy)?
Although, reporters of this medium have been scampering through Abuja city to catch a glimpse of the protesters to no avail, some of their complaints, according to sundry media reports, included worsening insecurity, poor economy, and massive unemployment.
A purported video of the protest, which was initially said to be holding on airport road was upload on Sahara Reporters website.
