On Sunday, demonstrators in Lagos expressed their thoughts on an early request made by Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to halt the weeks-long protests in the country against economic challenges. Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated, “As the president of this country, I must ensure public order. Another protester, Ayisat Omolara, expressed her disappointment with the president's speech this morning, stating that he failed to acknowledge their dialogue and demands, and instead told irrelevant stories. Tinubu's supporters claim that the protests are driven by political motives. His election last year faced opposition challenges, as he secured only 37% of the vote, the narrowest victory margin for any Nigerian president in history.
