Following the intense protest at the residence of former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, new details have emerged about the events that transpired.
According to reports, an unidentified individual from Buhari’s residence addressed the crowd of protesters, suggesting they select a spokesperson to record a message for the former President. This gesture momentarily calmed the situation but did not end the protest.
After this interaction, the demonstrators redirected their march towards the palace of the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Farouk Umar Farouk. The protesters expressed their grievances not only about the economic hardships they face but also about broader governance issues in Nigeria.
The protest outside Buhari’s residence was part of the larger #EndBadGovernance movement that has seen demonstrations across the country. The protesters’ main complaints include rising food prices, poor infrastructure, and the overall economic decline. The unrest in Daura, like in other parts of the country, reflects the growing frustration among Nigerians.
