Organizers of the nationwide #Endbadgovernance in Nigeria protest, have announced that the demonstrations will resume on October 1.
The nationwide protests were held from August 1st to 10th to bring to government attention the increased cost of living in the country.
The Action Alliance Congress (AAC) presidential candidate and a key organizer, Omoyele Sowore, announced the date in an interview on News Central TV.
He explained that the ongoing meetings between organizers have been focused on strategizing the next phase of the protests.
“This protest will resume at the beginning of October and might even start earlier depending on situational variables.”
The organizers are demanding a reversal of fuel subsidies, an increase in the minimum wage to N250,000, the release of Nnamdi Kanu, and the adoption of a new constitution amongst others.
Despite President Bola Tinubu’s appeal to end the protests, the organizers have vowed to continue, dismissing his speech as unconvincing and failed to meet their demands.
