A faction of Organisers of demonstrators in Lagos State has called for a temporary suspension of the protests until October 1.
The appeal came after President Bola Tinubu’s recent address, where he outlined his administration’s achievements and future plans.
Some protesters believe that pausing the demonstrations would provide time to evaluate the President’s proposals.
“Since President Tinubu has addressed the nation, we should allow some time to assess all his proposals,” one of the protest leaders advocating for the postponement.
Despite this call for a temporary halt, other protesters are determined to continue their presence at the protest site.
“We are not going home. The President hasn’t addressed our demands adequately,” one protester insisted, highlighting the ongoing division among the demonstrators.
The situation in Ojota remains tense, with a significant police presence who seems to be more than the protesters, urging for calm and peaceful resolution.
ACP Paul Okafor, who previously appealed to the protesters to disperse, continues to emphasise the need for peace in Lagos.
As the debate among the protesters continues, the police are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any potential escalation.
