Following today’s broadcast by President Bola Tinubu, hundreds of protesters have vowed to take over all the streets in Jos, Plateau.
They equally warned the business owners in the state to join them or shut down their shops.
The protesters said President Tinubu failed to comply with their demands to reverse the fuel subsidy removal.
“Tinubu failed to address the pressing challenges facing the nation. Hence, we are mobilizing thousands of people on Monday to show our grievances,” one of the protesters, Solomon told THE PLAINTRUTH.
The protesters, comprising adults and young people, were seen carrying placards, leaves, and flags of different countries moving from streets to another to issue the warning, saying, “no business tomorrow. Everyone should come out tomorrow for the protest.”
Tinubu had ruled out the return of fuel subsidy in his broadcast, saying even though the decision to remove the fuel subsidy was painful, it was necessary because it has constituted a noose around the economic “jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress”.
“I therefore took the painful yet necessary decision to remove fuel subsidies and abolish multiple foreign exchange systems which had constituted a noose around the economic jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress,” he had said.
