Protesters gathered at the Plateau Secretariat overhead bridge as early as 6 AM and marched towards the old airport roundabout in Jos.

Addressing the protesters, Dr. El-buba highlighted the suffering of Nigerians and called on President Bola Tinubu to reverse “anti-people policies.”

Buba specifically mentioned the removal of fuel subsidy, high electricity tariff, and high cost of living as some of the worries of the protesters.

Security operatives were present to guide the protesters and ensure that the protest remained peaceful.
