A young man has embarked on a seven-day hunger-protest against the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led government as he climbed a mast near Aso
Rock villa, Abuja
The 26-year-old undergraduate, identified as
Nura Iliyasu, mounted a 50-metre mast overlooking the Presidential Vila,
Abuja, on a 7-day hunger-protest against what he called bad leadership
by the Buhari-led administration.
According
to Daily Sun, while calling on the opposition political parties to
unite and produce a formidable candidate that will take over the
leadership of the country and salvage the her, Iliyasu said his
one-man protest was against “national indirection, pervasive hunger and
starvation, un-godly generic poverty, youth redundancy and hopelessness.”
In
addition, he is protesting against what he termed “schizophrenic
governance, souring foreign-exchange, high commodity prices;
dysfunctional refineries and textile industries, elites medical tourism
abroad; continued kidnappings and other negativities too numerous to
mention.”
