7:11 pm
made since taking office last may. but that didn't appear to be enough. for some of the protesters who, who simply felt that, that speech didn't cut. and they felt that the president, in appealing for dialogue, should have at least made some cosette concessions. they say that he, he didn't grunt any a single one of these several the minds. of course they're making several demands. chief among them is the reinstatement of the fuels subsidies. so for this need is that i spoke to this morning getting reaction from them. say they will continue their protests despite the president urging people to suspend the demonstrations. so how do you see the government reacting as protests continue? a limited. so we have seen it in other states where you've had more violence. we've seen that police have used lee so rounds in disposing of the crowds, hence the death toll that is being reported. it's clear that the police have the
7:12 pm
resources to be able to do that. so if they're given the instruction, one of the things they have to turn off with these demonstrations hasn't really been all that high, especially when compared to the 2020 process that really grabbed international headlines here when firewood for several days that went on for about 3 weeks or so, it seemed that the authorities are certainly caught in the head of making sure that they are prepared to overwhelm the processes. it'd be that, that that's happened. so we know that upon getting the instructions, the police certainly do have the capacity to respond. verified and see to those demonstrations the ones we've attended here in lagos, we have seen a heavy police presence. they've got everything from offices from different units, 2222 fi. why 2 to water trucks, excuse me. so we, we don't know what the turn out will be. we'll have to see in the coming days whether or not people do come out on mess as the process leaders according full. and we'll see how the boy is. he's respond to that. now president and what was said, his economic cuts would benefit young nigerians and economy,
7:13 pm
but everyone needs to be patient. our government officials being asked to make any sacrifices as well. i mean, this is one of the things that the, the president did when he took off his last may was to remove this feels subsidy that by the way, institutions like the i may have supported the decision to do so. at the, at the time the president said that this is something that the country could no longer afford, and there is absolutely evidence for that. but i think part of the challenge for people is that they see a bloated government for when they see the country continuing to spend a lot on for example, senate members of parliament members who have huge allowances. sorry, the message isn't quite resonates and people feel that a lot more money is being allocated to to expenses that aren't being accounted for . so there is the feeling that government needs to do more in terms of re prioritizing christine wound. well, thank you so much for joining us. now,
