Led by the chairman of the coalition comrade Waheed Lawal, human right activist, Comrade Waheed Saka and Comrade Fatai Tijani, the protesters lamented that the hikes will bring more hardship in addition to what the masses are passing through since the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic.

They called on President Muhammad Buhari to always consider the common and do away with obnoxious policies
