Protesters Display Mock Coffin of President Tinubu on Keke Napep

In a dramatic display of dissent, protesters carried a mock coffin representing President Bola Tinubu on a keke napep (tricycle) through the streets. This symbolic act was intended to convey the protesters’ deep dissatisfaction with the current administration’s policies and actions.

The mock coffin signifies the protesters’ belief that President Tinubu’s leadership is failing to meet the needs of the populace. By placing the coffin on a keke napep, a mode of transportation widely used by everyday Nigerians, the protesters underscored the grassroots nature of their grievances and the broad discontent among the general public.

This protest is one of several that have erupted recently, reflecting growing public frustration with issues such as economic hardship, governance, and social justice. The demonstrators called for immediate and effective measures to address their concerns, emphasizing the urgency of their demands.

Authorities have yet to respond to this latest act of protest, but the message is clear: many Nigerians are calling for significant changes and are willing to take to the streets to make their voices heard.
