Planned protest result of hunger – Makinde

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde says that widespread anger and hunger across the country could be responsible for the planned protest.
The governor said this while speaking at the grand finale of the 2024 Ibadan Cultural Week, organised by Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII).
Recall August 1 has been fixed as the day for a nationwide protest against hunger across the country.
Makinde stressed that people have the right to protest but cautioned that such movements should be done in a peaceful and not destructive manner.
Makinde said, “Nigeria could be in this situation for now. We could be experiencing anger and hunger in the land and that is why our people want to protest.
“Yes, protest is everybody’s right. But remember that we used your money to build all the structures and facilities we have put in place in this state, not mine.
“So, if you want to protest, it must be peaceful.
“If you begin your protest, don’t destroy government properties, otherwise, we will have to use the money we are supposed to spend on meaningful projects to replace facilities that may get destroyed.”
