1 min read
The main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has disclosed that they knew the sponsors of the #EndBadGovernance protests that rocked the country in August, Daily Trust reports.
Daily Trust said that some Nigerians and groups took to the streets in many cities between August 1 and 10 to protest against the prevailing hardship in the country.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Abuja on Monday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, while noting that hunger was the sponsor of the protest, urged the federal government to arrest hunger and not Nigerians.
Ologunagba was speaking on the backdrop of arrest of the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Joe Ajearo.
The PDP Spokesman said: “There is need for caution. There was a protest in this country, the government did not do anything. You arrest some people and said they were terrorists and you charge them to court. You say some people were the sponsors of the protest.
“We know those who sponsored the protest. The sponsor is hunger. The President and his people should arrest hunger and there will be no problem. Let your policies that are draconian, that are bringing people to their knees. This is the season schools are resuming, we know what people are going through.”
