Despite calls for a one-million-man protest, residents of Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina states have gone about their daily activities, shunning the protests.
In Kaduna, markets, motor parks, and supermarkets were bustling with activity, while security agents patrolled major streets, protecting critical state and national assets.
The Kaduna State Government had warned that unverified processions would not be permitted in the state for reasons of public safety and security.
In Kano, some residents expressed their decision not to participate in the protests, citing the lack of achievements from previous protests, which they believed had only resulted in hunger and destruction of public buildings.
Commercial activities were gradually resuming in all the metropolitan local government areas of Kano, marking a return to normalcy amidst a peaceful atmosphere.
