‘We Are Hungry O!!’ – Lagosians Shout As Tinubu’s Convoy Drives Through Idumota [VIDEO]

Residents and traders at Idumota market voiced their dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu, shouting “Ebi npa wa o!!!!!!” in yoruba, translating to “We are hungry o!!!!!” as the president’s convoy navigated through the market’s bustling lanes.

In a video shared on social media, traders lining both sides of the road refrained from cheering the president’s convoy but made their grievances known.

President Tinubu’s visit to Lagos was intended to mark the Christmas and New Year festivities.

Nigerians grapple with various issues, from cash shortages to soaring prices of essential commodities, notably the skyrocketing cost of premium motor spirit, popularly known as petrol.

The vocal dissent in the heart of Lagos underscores the prevalent frustrations among citizens.
