Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma expressed disappointment that the organizers of the nationwide protest have not yet publicly explained their reasons for wanting to participate in street protests. Nigerians, particularly the youth, are proposing a nationwide protest against the ongoing economic hardships under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

However, Uzodinma said it was too early for such an event to happen under the current administration, urging the individuals involved to postpone their plans.
