A former supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Isa Munlaila, on Thursday began trekking to Abuja from Lagos in protest at what he called the failure of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to provide jobs for Nigerian youths.
Munlaila lamented that people were suffering as the standard of living had gone up, adding that the president had failed to fulfil his promises to the people.
“Actually, I want to show my disappointment for this APC. As you can see, the youths of this country are very angry. APC promised us heaven on earth, they promised us three million jobs in a year, but now, we don’t even have 500,000 jobs in four years,” PMNews quoted him as saying.
Munlaila carried a small box painted green and red with “R.I.P A.P.C.” written on it.
Munlaila claimed to have walked from Lagos to Lokoja in 2015 in support of Buhari and the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
