Tensions rose in Plateau State as supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took to the streets, burning billboards to express their dissatisfaction with the alleged inadequate Ramadan palliatives provided by the government ¹. This protest comes amidst the holy month of Ramadan, a time when Muslims observe fasting and seek support from the government to alleviate the economic burden.
The Reason Behind the Protest
The PDP supporters claimed that the Ramadan palliatives were insufficient, sparking widespread discontent among the Muslim community. The protest is seen as a cry for help, urging the government to provide more adequate support during this sacred period.
Similar Incidents Elsewhere
This incident is not isolated, as similar clashes have occurred in other states. In Gombe State, for instance, the PDP accused the state government of hijacking and claiming ownership of federal government-provided Ramadan palliatives ¹ ².
Government's Response
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the protesters' demands. The government's actions will likely impact the already tense atmosphere, and it is crucial that they address the concerns of the Muslim community during this sensitive period.
