We can vividly recall the degree of people-oriented policies of this present government
Protesters burnt tyres, destroyed pavement wire separating dualized Ahmadu Bello Way and Sultan Abubakar Roads in order to press home their demand for the government to change some of its policies, which the protesters believe are causing hardship in the country.
Surprisingly the involvement of numerous underage participants, characterised the peaceful hunger protest in Sokoto state while movements from place to place was slowed and commercial motorcycle activity significantly decreased as a result of road blockage.
Seemingly, all major roads especially those leading to Sultan palace, government house were blocked due to participation of youths who appeared in hundreds of thousands along the major roads.
Meanwhile resident communities in Sokoto state under the auspices of Progressive Nigeria Movement, staged a protest in support of President Bola Tinubu, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko and Governor Ahmed Aliyu, saying the #EndBadGovernance/hunger protest was sponsored by those that lost elections in 2023.
According to the Resident Community group, they are objective in their assessment of the development, hence coming to the resolution that the protest was engineered to rubbish the administration of the president for paid glory.
Speaking on behalf of the Resident Community group, Comrade Jacob Shehu said they are in total support of the Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko led leadership of APC in Sokoto State and the governor, Ahmed Aliyu.
According to Jacob, it is too early in the day to say President Bola Ahmed Tinubu isn’t doing enough when he has barely spent just a year in office.
“As Nigerians, we are honestly amused by the slogan of #endbadgovernance#. This is more so that, we can vividly recall the degree of people-oriented policies of this present government. And for Sokoto in particular, we, the resident communities are solidly behind the government”.
