President Bola Tinubu has postponed this week’s Federal Executive Council to an undisclosed date, and instead met with service chiefs inview of the ongoing EndBadGovernance protests.
The meeting had in attendance the vice president, the national security adviser, all service chiefs, the inspector general of police, the comptroller generals of customs, and immigration, and the chief of staff to the president.
Sources close to the matter told Channels Television on condition of anonymity, that the urgent meeting with security chiefs might not be unconnected to the ongoing nationwide hunger and hardship protests.
Reports indicated that Nigerians, mostly youths, were regrouping across the country for the fifth day of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests.
President Tinubu had on Sunday called for dialogue and an immediate end to the nationwide protests that have rocked the nation since Thursday.
Tinubu said his administration was ready to listen to and address the protesters’ concerns, affirming that he had heard their calls “loud and clear”.
However, protesters have continued their demonstrations in major cities, including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano and few other states
