Confusion as Kano protesters fly Russian flag

The Nigerian and Russian flags were simultaneously waved during the #EndBadGovernance protest in Kano to the shock of many who wondered what was the motive.

Russia has become the darling of many African countries including Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau  and recently Senegal. These West African countries have revolted against France and aligned their foreign policy engagements with Russia.  It is not clear if the Kano protesters want Nigeria to align with Russia too instead of the West.  

The protest has been nationwide in protest of President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies which have caused hardship across the land.
