TINUBU In Trouble As Protest Organisers Reveal What Will Happen To Him If Any Protester Is Arrested Or Killed
As the date of the nationwide #EndBadGovt protest approaching, organisers have sent a strong message to law enforcement, stressing the serious repercussions of any acts of violence or arrests of demonstrators. The protest organisers claim that if any damage is done to the marchers, President Bola Tinubu and his whole government would be immediately called to resign. There are increased tensions and worries about possible unrest at the time of this warning.
Concerns about the impending demonstration have been voiced by the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, State Security Service, and other security agencies. They worry that it may become violent and like the recent rebellion in Kenya and the #EndSARS protests in October 2020. Official remarks encouraging the people to abstain from the protests, which they fear might cause widespread turmoil and disruption, emphasised these concerns.
The #EndBadGovt demonstration organisers have remained steadfast in their resolve in spite of these cautions. A 10- point program is presented in a flier that is making the rounds on social media, highlighting the movement’ s dedication to nonviolent protests. The demonstrators’ safety would not stop the organisers from continuing their efforts, they have emphasised. Rather, it would bolster their calls for the resignation of President Tinubu and his cabinet, making them answerable for the security forces’ deeds.
The remark made by the Youth Minister highlights the government’ s recognition of the growing public pressure. It also highlights the administration’ s difficulty in properly communicating and putting into practice measures that address the pressing demands of the populace. Despite its good intentions, the appeal for peace might be seen as a ploy to appease discontent without providing real solutions.
