Images emerging from Anambra State, the home turf of Labour Party’s Presidential candidate Peter Obi, depict a significant turnout for the hardship protest, underscoring mounting grievances among citizens.
Despite advisories from influential figures and groups in the South-east, including Ohanaeze Ndigbo, urging restraint in protesting against the Bola Tinubu-led administration, the Anambra NLC-led hardship protest saw robust participation from its inception.
Pictures from the Anambra NLC hardship protests showcase widespread involvement from the outset, highlighting the populace’s resolve to voice their discontent.
Meanwhile, in Abuja, a coalition of demonstrators organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has converged on the National Assembly Complex to articulate concerns over escalating economic hardships and soaring living expenses. Protesters brandish placards condemning the nation’s economic state.
This demonstration coincides with the NLC’s nationwide protest scheduled for Tuesday, 27th, and Wednesday, 28th, aimed at drawing attention to the plight of Nigerians amidst the fuel subsidy removal and currency devaluation. Despite eleventh-hour discussions with the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government, the NLC remains steadfast in its determination to proceed with the planned protests.
