THE next phase of nation-wide #EndBadGovernance protests would be ‘mother of all protests’ and won’t stop until “the Nigerian government meets the demands of citizens”.
Human Rights Activist and Convener of the #RevolutionNow Movement, Omoyele Sowore disclosed this speaking with News Central Television on Thursday.
Said he, “the next phase of the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests, starting October 1, seeks to tackle Nigeria’s bad governance issues.
I had earlier released a list of 17 key demands from Nigerians as part of the upcoming ‘October Revolt’ protest.
“The planned fearless is an avenue for Nigerians to express their displeasure on various issues affecting the country, including corruption, insecurity, and economic hardship.
“They (the government) have broken the law by seeking orders that are not legitimate. And what we said within our circle is that when the government decides to bend the law by using the law unjustifiably, the law has to be relaxed. The people have a duty not to allow these laws to restrict them.
“That was what happened on the first day to the third day of #EndBadGovernance. People were not restricted to those places chosen by the government officials who went and colluded with certain judges to issue these illegitimate orders.
“I want to say that the protests were quite successful. It was successful before, during and even after. We don’t want to spend much time discussing what has happened. We are planning a new one in October on October 1 and we haven’t decided when that one will stop. We will not stop until we win”, he declared.
