He claims that the protest is intended to voice discontent with the current government over its unfair economic changes.
According to Soweto, the economy has suffered as a result of the elimination of subsidies and the unification of the naira, putting many people in a difficult situation.
“Another result of Tinubu’s two-year presidency is the asphyxiation of the national economy due to the adverse effect of the removal of oil subsidy and naira devaluation.
“Without equivocation, we have to say that the past two years of President Tinubu’s government has been nothing short of a disaster for the mass of Nigerian people. The anti-poor and neo-liberal reforms of the regime have led to destruction of livelihoods and the economy on a scale previously unimagined,” he said.
Soweto expressed worries over what he called abuse of democracy, describing the Tinubu led government as dictatorship.

“We have to say that Nigerians are living more or less like enslaved citizens. All the constitutionally-guaranteed rights and freedoms that in the past inspired struggles against military rule and for democracy have now been completely taken away by the Tinubu administration. The civic space has shrunk to the point that Nigerians can no longer breathe,” he added.
Additionally, he urged Lagos State Commissioner of Police Olohundare Moshood Jimoh and Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun to assist the protesters.
