Hundreds of protesters in Jos, Plateau state capital, flooded the popular Bauchi Road, on Sunday, issuing a stern warning to all business owners to join them on Monday or shut down.

The protesters said the move is to prevent damage to their properties.

According to the protesters, President Bola Tinubu’s Sunday broadcast failed to address the pressing challenges facing the nation.

They vowed to mobilise more people to come out to express their grievances and dissatisfaction with the broadcast, adding that the protest is the only way to voice their concern to government.

The protesters, comprising adults and young people, were seen carrying placards, leaves, and flags of different countries moving from streets to another to issue the warning, saying, “no business tomorrow. Everyone should come out tomorrow for the protest.”

The protesters’ major demand is the removal of the fuel subsidy and tackling insecurity in the country.

In his broadcast, Tinubu has ruled out the return of fuel subsidy, saying even though the decision to remove the fuel Subsidy was painful, it was necessary because it has constituted a noose around the economic “jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress”.

“I therefore took the painful yet necessary decision to remove fuel subsidies and abolish multiple foreign exchange systems which had constituted a noose around the economic jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress,” he had said.

Daily Trust reports that so far, the protest has been peaceful in Plateau, with hardly any incident of violence recorded.

These protesters are just looking for an excuse to cause chaos. It's shameful how they threaten hardworking business owners instead of seeking genuine solutions.

Igbos told us they ain't interested in protest but na dem Dey find where problem Dey happen for protest

Na dem even Dey talk say problem must happen

Salewa97:
Another day, another empty threat. These protesters need to realize that shutting down businesses won't solve their problems. Instead of threatening livelihoods, how about they channel that energy into constructive dialogue? It's always the same story: loud voices, but no real solutions. Nigeria deserves better than this circus!
