HAPPENING NOW! “Corruption” Picture Of Tinubu Goes Viral, SEE What Nigerians Plan To Do On October 1st
The Take- It- Back Movement has urged Nigerians to come together and prepare for the upcoming #FearlessInOctober protest, which seeks to address the worsening economic situation under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
The pro- democracy group has criticized Tinubu’ s administration, condemning its policies as representative of corruption and economic hardship. They pointed to the rising cost of living as evidence of the government’ s failure to manage the country’ s economy effectively.
In an official statement released on Tuesday via its X handle (formerly known as Twitter), the movement called on citizens to mobilize for a nationwide protest scheduled for October 1. The demonstration will be organized under the hashtags #FearlessInOctober and #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria2. 0, which have gained traction online.
The statement highlighted the significance of the protest, urging Nigerians to join the movement in a fight against what they described as oppressive governance. The group portrayed President Tinubu as a symbol of economic hardship.
The protest comes at a time when Nigerians are grappling with an extraordinary rise in fuel prices, following the government’ s decision to remove petrol subsidies in May 2023. This policy has led to a dramatic increase in the cost of fuel, with prices soaring to unprecedented levels across the country. According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), fuel prices now range from N855 to N897 per litre, depending on the location. However, independent fuel marketers have pushed prices even higher, with reports of prices ranging from N930 to N1, 200 per litre in some areas.
The removal of fuel subsidies has been one of the most contentious policies implemented by Tinubu’ s administration, as it has exacerbated the financial burden on citizens. The skyrocketing cost of fuel has had a ripple effect on other sectors, driving up transportation costs, food prices, and general inflation. Many Nigerians are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet, as wages and salaries remain stagnant amid these rising costs.
