Why protesters would come to Niger Delta
According to Asari-Dokubo, the protesters are only interested in the resources of the Niger Delta, describing them as "anarchists".
The Punch reported that Asari-Dokubo made the comments at a conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital, on Tuesday, July 30, stating that he and others who believe in President Tinubu will not participate in the protest.
He alleged that some people who lost the 2023 presidential election were backing the protest to remove the government and warned the protesters against allowing themselves to be used by others, saying it would lead to exploitation of the region.
Hunger protest: Asari-Dokubo referenced EndSARS protest
Asari-Dokubo referred to the #EndSARS protest and said those who brought anti-protest to Oyigbo collected what they deserved. He urged the people not to be deceived by flowery words and statements but to look at the impact on society and the environment.
The militant-turned-activist stated that President Bola Tinubu won the election despite all odds and should be allowed to govern. He warned against bringing the protest to the Niger Delta, saying it would be resisted.
Opposition leaders who endorsed hunger protest
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Tinubu's one-year in office has been challenging for many Nigerians, as inflation has consistently increased. The president has swung into action as he announced the removal of the fuel subsidies on the day of his inauguration and floated the currency.
The two moves fronted Tinubu's economic reform. He also took several steps in which he appealed to Nigerians to endure the pain and said that things would soon get better. However, the cost of food continued to multiply, leading to the call for a hunger protest.
