The #EndBadGovernance in Nigeria protest organizers are preparing for a major demonstration set to take place in October across Nigeria. The previous protests in August were marked by significant unrest, including violent clashes, destruction of public property, and tragic loss of life, which led to multiple arrests in various states.
Damilare Adenola, Director of Mobilisation for the Take It Back Movement, announced the upcoming protest in an interview with Punch on Monday. Adenola emphasized that the group’s core demands will remain the same unless new pressing issues arise that necessitate changes.
The October protest, named ‘Fearless in October Protest,’ is intended to highlight ongoing grievances and demand action. Adenola stated, “Our charter of demands remains consistent. Should the national situation worsen, we may include additional demands to address emerging concerns.”
Adenola also addressed the government’s recent restrictions on protest locations, indicating that the organizers have no intention of complying with these limitations. “We do not intend to adhere to these restrictions,” he asserted, underscoring the group’s commitment to their cause despite official constraints.
