Ahead of the planned nationwide protests by some Nigerians, particularly the youth, a pro-Lagos State Government X handle @lagospedia has announced two weeks observation of Oro Festival in various communities in Lagos.
Nigerians have begun reacting to the planned ‘ORO festival’ coinciding with the planned nationwide protest as politically motivated move by those who do not want the protest to hold.
Recall, for several weeks, there has been an agitation by the youths to hold nationwide protest starting from August 1 to 15 to draw the attention of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration to the current economic challenges facing the country.
Youths have been mobilizing via X platform formally known as Twitter with several hashtags “endbadgovernance”, “Dayofrage” among several others.
