Residents of Lagos Island and traders at the popular Idumota market have decried the increasing hunger and desperation inflicted on them by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
The residents were seen in a trending video telling President Tinubu in Yoruba language that they are hungry – “Ebi npa wa oo”.
Filed on both sides of the road as seen in the video as the President convoy passed through the ever-busy market, the traders didn’t hail him.
They instead kept talking of their pains, which they accused his administration of inflicting on them by bad policies that didn’t factor the poor and working class in the country.
