Irate youths defy curfew, confront security agencies in Jos

APC women ask Tinubu to review economic polices

Angry youths in Jos North Local Council of Plateau State defied the curfew imposed by the government, as they trooped out yesterday in their thousands to confront security agencies, thereby creating tension in the area.

In a related development, a support group, Women Economic Emancipation Group (WEEG) in Kwara State has given President Bola Tinubu two weeks to review his economic policies or face mass protest.

Sulaimon faulted the palliatives, which she noted, did not go round. Describing the project as a scam, she stated: “No to palliatives, all we want and crave for is reversal of policies and removal of oil subsidy.”
 
She added: “Truly, before the 2023 election, all the three major candidates promised to remove the subsidy, but we expect a democrat like President Tinubu to do it in phases, for he ought to have known and consider Nigeria’s complexity.”
 
The APC chieftain explained that the multiplier effect of the oil subsidy gave room for the rise in the cost of food items. Also speaking, Jimoh Simbiat Opeyemi, mother of three from Ilorin South, stated that she joined other Kwara indigents to vote Tinubu because of her belief in him, lamenting: “Look at me now, what have I gained? I am a graduate without job, while my children now suffer for my actions during the election.”
