Lagos Youths Oppose August Hunger Protest, Cite Political Motives
Lagos Indigenous Youth Network (LIYN) has condemned the planned hunger protest from August 1 to 10, 2024, fearing it may lead to chaos similar to the #EndSARS events.
At a press conference in Ikeja, youth leaders asserted that the protest is politically driven rather than for public interest.
Mobolaji Ogunlende, speaking for LIYN, cited intelligence reports suggesting political motives behind the protest. “We are not against citizens constructively engaging their leaders.
However, when such engagement turns into a platform for tension and warmongering, aimed at settling political scores, it is time to exercise caution,” Ogunlende said.
The group urged Lagosians, especially parents, to discourage participation in the protest.
They affirmed their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the state government’s efforts to maintain peace and address grievances. “We say no to any protest disguised as supporting the people but aimed at causing destruction,” Ogunlende concluded.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
