In a twist of fate, an anti-protester hired to oppose the #endbadgovernance demonstrations found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. During a live TV broadcast, he unexpectedly voiced his frustrations about the high cost of Garri, a staple food item that he claimed was much cheaper before the APC took power. His complaint inadvertently became the focal point of the broadcast, revealing a deeper discontent among those staged to protest.
As the anti-protester aired his grievances, another demonstrator, clearly frustrated by the deviation from their planned script, attempted to cover his face with a yellow placard and silence him. The situation quickly escalated into a chaotic scene with fellow protesters shouting and nearly attacking the complainer. The camera hastily shifted away from the commotion.
Adding to the irony, a protester on the sidelines was seen nodding in agreement with the complaint, suggesting that the discontent may be more widespread than initially apparent. This incident underscores that even carefully orchestrated protests can’t completely hide the truth, as reality often slips through the cracks.
