Everybody has the right to protest
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Nigerian businessman Prince Ihemegbulam reacted to Hank Anuku protesting against hunger as well as the netizens who slammed him for it. He said:
"Everyone has the right to a protest and it doesn’t matter whether it has an obvious impact or an expected outcome. The particular protest in question is one that in a sane country, public servants and political officeholders should be championing. Yet again, we see society turning against itself because why would anyone have anything against a protest on ‘hunger’ considering the current inflationary pressure on food that exists in Nigeria today? Very sad!"
