Rose Wale Petroleum Station, Iwo Road, the designated convergence venue for the protesters has been calm
The protesters had started arriving the venue as early as 8:30am before leading a procession away from the place around 11am. Early morning shower in different parts of the city slowed down the gathering.
The protesters, numbering about 200 youths, were very peaceful in their conduct.
The protesters, a coalition of various interest groups are staging the protest under the aegis “Oyo State Coalition Against Hardship”.
They said the protest was against hardship in the land and not against any individual.
Although they carried placards and sang solidarity songs, the protesters insisted that they did not embark on the protest to foment any trouble but to call the attention of the government to the hardship and difficulties across the country.
They later marched to Iwo road before going to Agodi Gate from where they marched to Mokola Ibadan amid heavy security operatives with numerous patrol vans, to provide security and protection.
