From the UTC Junction, the two federal lawmakers led the IYC on a march down Azikiwe Road to Government House. They ended their march at the State House of Assembly on Moscow Road in Port Harcourt, where they spoke to young people.
Following the confrontation between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, a political crisis rocked the state, and this was followed by the march.
Fubara’s cabinet members, including commissioners, have been leaving their positions with the excuse of personal reasons.
