#Endbadgovernance protesters have begun to march into the Lagos State Governor’s Office in Alausa despite court orders restricting them to Ketu and Ojota parks, causing gridlock on the roads.

Some of the protesters marched from Ikeja Underbridge as they chose to move to the state government office on Thursday morning.

One of the protesters insisted on going to Alausa rather than the police’s Ojota suggestion.

“The police want to force us to Ojota, Ojota is for Tinubu’s boys. We want to march from here to Governor’s Office,” he told EQ.

As seen on EiE’s website, the protesters are to converge on specific locations in Lagos, Oyo, Bauchi, Rivers, Abuja, Plateau, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Edo states between 9 am and 6 pm to express their demands to the Federal Government.

The Government Secretariat in Alausa is the listed location for the protests in Lagos, but more protesters have appeared in other parts of the state.

Nigerians are protesting between August 1 and August 10 against economic hardship and bad governance, the nationwide protests coming after months of higher electricity tariffs, costly petrol and food inflation.
