Despite Tinubu’s Broadcast, Hunger Protests Continue in Kano

Again, protests broke out in Kano on Sunday, as hundreds of youths took to the streets saying that the recent national broadcast by President Bola Tinubu, did not address the core grievances of Nigerians.

Most of the protesters who were young men and women were carrying Russian flags describing it as a symbol of resilience and doggedness In their struggle to save the country from destruction.

Apart from Russia’s flags, the demonstrators raised placards with different inscriptions calling for the restoration of fuel subsidy which they blame for the current economic crisis.

They also rejected President Tinubu’s plea to suspend the protests, promised to press on with rallies until all their demands are met.

The Sunday protest started around Koki, Dala local government area to city central mosque, and Sharada Quarters in Municipal and Gadon Kaya in Gwale Local Government areas respectively.

The agitators were seen displaying Russian flag saying they will return to Russian President, Vladimir Putin for help while in some other places chanting Tinubu must go.

An eyewitness in Bakin Zuwo, Malam Salisu Hamisu told reporters that large number of youth took to streets to protest hunger against bad governance.

“I saw large number of protesters around 10am, flying Russian flag. They were protesting against the bad governance, hunger, insecurity and hardship among others,” Salisu stated.

Another Nigerian who added his voice on the issue of flying Russian flags during the recent protest in Kano, Barrister Bulama Bukarti, said, “Some protesters in Kano carried the Nigerian flag alongside the Russian flag, and there have been calls from some participants for demonstrators to bring Russian flags and photos of Vladimir Putin to seek Russia’s assistance.

“More concerning is that these protesters do not seem to be affiliated with any pro-Russian group; they simply made amateur flags suggesting that this sentiment is developing organically. This trend is likely to expand, especially as malign actors may observe and exploit it.”

Meanwhile, the Kano State Government has announced the relaxation of the 24-hour curfew from 8am to 2pm, effective Sunday.
