“The president was not specific on what the government will do to address the demands of the youth. The president’s call for dialogue is an open-end appeal, which does not have a clear indicator on what will be done.
“However, we are still going to meet to deliberate but as it stands, the protest continues in Osun.” he said
Similarly, Comrade Emmanuel Olowu, Secretary, Osun Coalition of Civil Societies, which is also part of the protest said the President’s appeal for end and embrace dialogue will be discussed at a meeting of the various groups later in the day.
