In a recent development, VDM, who was initially against the protest, made a U-turn. He reported on IG that he saw a clip of some military personnel being ushered in Lagos.
He noted that this is intended to instil fear in the hearts of Nigerian youths and deter them from protesting.
What VDM said about the government
Additionally, VDM shared that the authorities, including the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are scared of the youths and the possible outcome of the protests.
He maintained that the future of the youth is not guaranteed anymore as protest is their right and should be exercised, considering the hike in prices of basic commodities in the markets.
