Some irate Nigerians staged protests against the current situation of the nation on Wednesday as the country observed June 12th as Democracy Day.

Nigerians, who were furious, protested in the streets against poverty and hunger.

Some demonstrators from Lagos State congregated in Ikeja and declared that President Bola Tinubu’s administration ought to be overthrown.

They emphasised that “Nigerians can’t feed their families comfortably under Tinubu” and based their demands on the country’s economic suffering.

“We called for it and we are on the street in Ikeja Under Bridge,” one of the protestors wrote in a post on X. We need to show the @officialABAT government the path out of its despotic and repressive regime. We are enraged and hungry. We’re Hungry and Protesting. June 12th, a protest.
