Lagosians shout, boo & calls ole as Tinubu with over one hundred convoy vehicles & dozens of security men visits Oba of Lagos
Lagos Island residents and traders at the bustling Idumota market voiced their dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu, shouting “Ebi npa wa oo” in Yoruba, translating to “We are hungry” as the president’s convoy navigated through the market’s bustling lanes.
In a video shared on social media, traders lining both sides of the road refrained from cheering the president’s convoy but made their grievances known.
President Tinubu’s visit to Lagos was intended to mark the Christmas and New Year festivities.
Some significant take aways from the Lagos Island Tinubu visit was the sober and non cheering faces of the crowd with most of them booing him and some going to the extreme of calling him Ole which loosely translated in Yoruba to mean thief.
Some Lagos residents have been crying out since about one week that Tinubu came to Lagos to spend his Christmas holidays.
Their complaints are majorly on blockage of roads and causing of terrific traffic any time he is visiting any part of the city.
Last Friday Tinubu went to the Surulere mosque to worship and residents of that part of the city complained bitterly of the suffering inflicted on them with that visit.
