Nigeria,Protest

Civil societies under the aegis of Edo State Civil Society Organisations, EDOSCO, protested on Wednesday against the continued suffering of the masses in Nigeria. DAILY POST reports that the governorship candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Oberaifo Udoh, also joined the members of EDOSCO to protest the economic hardship in the country.

The protesters called on the government to end the suffering of the masses and advance policies that will benefit a lot of Nigeria ns. The spokesman of EDOSCO, Kola Edokpayi, said the protest was to express their frustration over the state of the nation. Edokpayi, who said the group rejects the current brand of democracy being practiced in the country, noted that the masses are suffocating due to the iron grip of hunger, poverty and the economic downturn under President Bola Tinubu.

These people travel abroad and see how things work there; unfortunately, they fail to replicate what they see here. 'We call on the government to end the suffering of the masses and institute policies that will better the lot of Nigerians. The leaders know the solution. We want them to give us employment and create an enabling environment for investors to come into the country. 'They must halt insecurity and fix power.
