Protesters vow to continue #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests until Tinubu meets demands

Protesters have declared that they will sustain their #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests until President Bola Tinubu meets their demands.

They urged the president to take necessary actions to address their grievances, promising to immediately call off the protests if their demands are met.

Addressing journalists at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja, Damilare Adenola, Director of Mobilisation for the Take It Back Movement, expressed frustration over the prolonged oppression under President Tinubu’s leadership.

“The various court orders restricting protesters to particular locations are an aberration. Our presence here today is an announcement that we have been oppressed for too long. Today, we have risen. We are saying to the president that unless President Bola Tinubu accedes to our demands, we will remain on the streets,” Adenola stated.

He pledged that protesters would not be intimidated, emphasizing their determination to continue the protests until their demands are met.

“We want to see the president on the street. During previous protests, he was on the street,” Adenola added, highlighting the protesters’ desire for direct engagement with President Tinubu.
