#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: Protesters Shun Minister At Eagles Square

Protesters at the Eagles Square shouted down the Minister of State for Youths Development, Ayodele Olawande, when he tried to speak to them at the Eagles Square in Abuja on Thursday.

Protesters chanted “hunger dey”, at the minister as he tried to address the crowd, preventing the minister from speaking, the Punch reports.

However, after calming the crowd, the minister explained that he was not attempting to shut down the protest, adding that he is a comrade who has attended between a hundred and five hundred protests.

“I’m not here to fight you, I’m not here to ask you not to protest, it is your right. Like I said, I’ve been to over 100-500 protests,” he said.

The minister also assured that he would address the police regarding the shooting of canisters against the protesters.

Meanwhile, protesters have insisted they would not join the others at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, noting that a few days ago, a parallel protest had been held without interference by the police.
