Tribune Online gathered that there is an army of youths at the protest ground wining and dining with different kinds of foods.

It also gathered that the youths were being thrilled by the performances of top celebrities like Mr P, African China and others who took them back to the old school songs talking about bad governance, corruption, and other atrocious acts in the society.

The youths broke the barrier of the toll gates at both Lekki and Ikoyi-linked bridge allowing free entry and exit of the motorist s without making payment for Toll.

The Members of Staff of the Toll gates were also chased away and took over by the youths, pressing home their demands on end to bad governance in the country.

While speaking, One of the protesters, Seun said that the youths are fagged out on the issue of bad governance in the country.

He said that they are not ready to back out until the government fixes all their demands, with the withdrawal of the statement that Nigerian Youths are lazy.

The Protester noted that he is an entrepreneur; hence, doing well for himself and can fend for himself but what about others who cannot.

He stated that the lackadaisical attitude on the path of the political class is enough and they cannot take it anymore.
