The self-acclaimed ‘President of Frustrated Nigerians’ led the crowd to give their demands to the legislator.

They demanded the public disclosure of the budget of the Federal lawmakers. They also demanded that immunity from criminal procedure against the President, Vice President, governors and deputy governors be removed from the constitution.

They backed the anti-corruption crusade of the Muhammadu Buhari administration and insisted that all Ministries, Departments and Agencies, including the Legislature and the Judiciary, be subjected to the Treasury Single Account (TSA) to curb wastage and corruption in government.

They also demanded that the Senate be scrapped with the controversial constituency intervention projects.

Charly Boy, who is also called ‘The Area Fada”, said corruption had robbed Nigerian youths of their future, and noted that death penalty should be introduced to check corrupt public office holders.

The 65-year-old assured that his group would not relent in protesting what he called the gross injustice against Nigerian youths until positive commitments were obtained from the lawmakers.

I was happy that some youths are doing what young people should do, he said. ”I am just here to encourage them to take their rightful place in the society”.

I have also advised them on the need to go back to the drawing board and come out massively because this is a cause for the few men and women of integrity left in Nigeria to come and speak out against this oppression.

He added: ”I see that most of the youths these days are just handicapped by the great poverty, unemployment and uncertainty of tomorrow. This is because we have a government that does not work; we have a government that cannot arrest corruption.

I am here to encourage them because when next we come here, the whole place will be filled up. This is a movement. I am telling young Nigerians that if they do not do something about their future, their future has been stolen.

So, if you don’t fight to retrieve it, you will die for nothing in this country. There will be nothing for you, if you don’t agitate.

I am here to encourage that culture of agitation, the culture of standing up for your bloody rights because nothing will change until you do so.
