The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters have reconvened at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.<\/p>\n
This is coming a few minutes after the protesters and journalists were teargassed at the popular Berger roundabout.<\/p>\n
Immediately after arriving at the stadium, the protesters chanted that they would not back down until the Federal Government met their demands.<\/p>\n
Speaking to journalists, a protester identified as Tari, lamented the actions of the police officers<\/p>\n
She stated that they (the protesters) remain resolute and wouldn\u2019t be intimidated by the actions of the police.<\/p>\n
Tari said, \u201cThe police must explain to us why they are harassing us. There is hunger in the land. We remain resolute, we will remain on the streets unless the President listens to us<\/p>\n
Another protester, Michael Zayi, said, \u201cIt is very bad. When a child cries and the parent doesn\u2019t listen, the results are always not palatable. We are peaceful protesters. The issue behind the issue is that if the president had listened to us, we would not have been in this situation<\/p>\n
\u201cHope is alive when persistence is in motion. The worst thing in life is not death but hunger. People are hungry. No amount of teargas will stop us from demanding better lives for ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
