Omoyele Sowore, one of the major organizers of #EndBadGovernance Nationwide Protest which rocked the country from August 1-10, over hunger, Sufferings and Bad Governance has disclosed plans by the protesters to come out en-masse for another round of protest scheduled for October.
The protest is connected to what Sowore described as President Bola Tinubu’s alleged failure to address the demands of the protesters.
The Presidential Candidate of African Alliance Congress, AAC, at the 2023 Presidential Election said the #EndBadGovernance protesters, who were majorly asking the FG to reverse some policies that led to the high cost of living, including the controversial fuel subsidy, made at least 15 demands.
Among other things, the protesters asked the Government to “Toss the Senate arm, keep the House of Representatives and make lawmaking a part-time endeavour.
“Pay Nigerian workers a minimum wage of nothing less than N250,000 monthly.
“Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and demilitarize the South East. All ENDSARS and political detainees must also be released and compensated.
“End banditry, terrorism and violent crimes. Reform security agencies to stop continuous human rights violations.
“Massive shake-ups in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of Judges and Judicial Officers that continue denying citizens access to real justice.”
He added that unlike the August protest, the planned October demonstration tagged #FearlessInOctober would be prolonged.
On the rumoured ongoing dialogue with the FG, Sowore said, “I am not part of any negotiations. We are all working on our next set of prolonged protests tagged #fearlessinOctober”.
