The ongoing protest against widespread hunger and scarcity of essential commodities across the country resumed on Wednesday in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.

This is coming a few days after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed Nigerians in a national broadcast.

Tinubu, on Sunday during the national broadcast said that he had heard the messages of the protesters loud and clear.

Our correspondent however reports that a group of protesters assembled at the front of the University of Ibadan to continue with the protest on Wednesday.

The protesters who are mainly human rights activists and youths were seen around the main gate of the university Wednesday morning.

The protesters carried different placards to communicate their demands to the public.

A spokesman for the protesters, Solomon Emiola who spoke with DAILY POST notes that the protesters resumed the protests because the national broadcast failed to address the yearnings of Nigerians.

Emiola said, “We are protesting because the President failed to address the needs of the Nigerian masses. He has failed to address the needs of the people.

“He said all the demands of the people, the solution to it is rice palliative. And we are tired of eating rice. A bag of rice now is ninety thousand naira.

“I as a person, don’t have a piece of rice in my house now, not to talk of having a congo or rice. That means we Nigerians, we are suffering.

“And with the high cost of living, we cannot go to school because the tuition fees have increased. The tuition fees are above minimum wage, where do they want us to see it?

“No employment, insecurity is there, all the problems keep ravaging and our president said he is not ready to address it”.

I hope and I'm of the view that the presidency won't blame Peter Obi for being the brain behind resumption of the protest in Ibadan.

I left..!

Nigerians are known for their resilience. Protests are part of democracy, but let's not forget Tinubu's efforts to address these issues. The president is aware of the struggles and is working on long-term solutions. It's a journey, and with time, we will see improvements. We must support the process!

Peaceful protest. #peace

Tinubu is just getting started. Change takes time, and he’s listening. Let's give him the chance to turn things around. Protests won’t solve the issues; unity and support will!

Let them protest in peace if they dont want to dialogue.
They should watch it so they dont inhibit others from exercising their right of movement.
I am suspecting a made up story because there is no picture and no other news outlet seems to know any protest in Ibadan today.

Tinubu is just getting started. We need to give him time to implement his plans. Protests won't change the course of progress; patience is key.

Na wah!

Some people no go ever tire for this protest matter.

But I no go lie, the only thing we dey see na Peter Obi's shadow everywhere, as if him get any better plan.

Make dem carry their wahala go, Tinubu dey focus on better things. No time for noise!

The drug master has nothing to offer Nigerians.

Na Seyi Makinde Loal Government Autonomie dey fight back here .. politics ehn

Well organized

Worse Government so far, Buhari is truly missed.

Na wa

Hunger knows no tribe.
My happiness is no matter your political party, tribe or religion we are all in tinubu's disastrous government together. Let's learn it the hard way.

Who noticed that all those APC senior miscreants like that SKELETONBBQGRILLS and CO. Who has been praising APC failures since inception have all gone into hiding due to shame and disappointment from the useless party

OYO have been politically woke right from first republic 💯, they are fearless 🤯. No gree for anybody

Tinubu downfall will start from southwest.
Baba Pampers and sniffer, Game Over

Tinubu thought Nigerians were all APC members.
So read his address like he was addressing them and expected an applause as usual. In a sane clime Tinubu would have sacked who wrote that speech that pitched him against Nigerians including his number one intellectual supporter Soyinka.

Nigerians should understand that protests are part of democracy, but it's clear that TINUBU's leadership is paving the way for real change. Let's focus on the progress and not just the noise.
