Protesters in Abuja has vowed that they won’t be silenced despite the hardship faced by the citizens.
According to VANGUARD report, a protester stated this in Tuesday after the Nigerian police fired teargas to disperse protesters gathered at the Utako area in Abuja, the country’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The Protesters said: “The Nigerian government seeks to repress, suppress, and oppress the Nigerian people to the point where they become too afraid to express their fundamental rights.
“However, today, we are showing the government through our actions that our voices can never be silenced. The government should not expect us to remain quiet in the face of poverty, suffering, insecurity, and poor leadership across all sectors.
“A bag of rice costs nearly N100,000, and we are paying over N1,000 for fuel. And you say that’s not enough? No.”
The #FearlessInOctober protests, which began on Tuesday morning, aim to pressure the government to address the country’s economic challenges.
