In a bold display of defiance, protesters have gathered at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja, kicking off a 10-day demonstration against the crippling economic hardship, rampant insecurity, and ineffective governance plaguing the nation.
As early as 6 a.m., the stadium’s entrance was teeming with protesters, their voices raised in unison, demanding immediate action from the government to address the plethora of issues bedeviling the country.
The protesters, undeterred by the heavy security presence, remained resolute in their determination to bring attention to their plight.
The choice of venue, dictated by a court order, has not dampened the spirits of the protesters, who are adamant that their voices be heard.
