Some #Endbadgovernance protesters, on Monday, took to the streets, holding Russian flags near the Nyanya bridge in Abuja.

The trend was first observed in Kano, on the first day of the protest.

On Saturday, the protesters defied a 24-hour curfew to carry out their protest, urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to intervene in Nigeria.

According to the aggrieved protesters, they are seeking Putin’s intervention, because of a lack of trust in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

“We are raising the Russian flag because we believe Tinubu is playing his imperial masters’ scripts — the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United States of America,” Auwalu Idi, a protester said

On Sunday, more Russian flag carriers were also spotted in Kano.

Another group of protesters arrived in Jos, the Plateau capital, on the same day with Russian and Japanese flags, forcing protest organisers to conclude the march early.

Salman Garba, the state police commissioner, had told reporters that some of the youths were hiding under a programme organised by an unnamed politician in Kano.
