The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for 2023, PETER OBI, has expressed his support on Sunday for the nationwide protest scheduled for August.

OBI, a former Anambra State Governor, said the Nigerian Constitution allows room for protest as it is the right of citizens.

He identified hunger, and hopelessness among Nigerians as the sponsors of the protest, calling on the Nigerian authorities to engage and give a listing listening ear to the protesters.

He also called on security agencies to provide cover for the protesters.

OBI, however, warned against violence, saying such demonstrations should be done within the confines of the law.
