PUNCH Online reports that some Nigerians were planning to protest across the country against hunger and economic hardship in the country.
The protest, which has gained traction on social media, has been endorsed by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, respectively.
The youths, who came from different locations, converged on the Lagos Island area of the state and moved across areas like Obalende, Ikoyi, and Lekki.
Speaking with reporters, the youths expressed their support for the Tinubu-led administration and called on Nigerians to plan the demonstration to shun violent protests.
Referencing the 2020 #EndSARS protest that led to the destruction of property and loss of lives in the state, the youths claimed that the planned protest might have a recurrence and they would stop it from happening again.
