“The protest is not a one-man show, especially in Osun’s case. As far as the presidential address this morning is concerned, Mr. President did not address any of our concerns. The president was not specific on what the government will do to address the demands of the youth,” he said.
Adetunji noted that the president’s call for dialogue is an open-ended appeal without clear indicators of what actions will be taken.
“However, we are still going to meet to deliberate, but as it stands, the protest continues in Osun,” he said.
