Organizers Set For One-Million-Man Protest Across 36 States, Abuja On Saturday

The Take It Back Movement, a key organizer of the #EndBadGovernance protest, has announced a massive one-million-man demonstration planned for Saturday across all 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The National Coordinator of the movement, Sanyaolu Juwon, made this announcement on Thursday in Abuja, stating, “The Take It Back Movement (TIB), side-by-side with other organizers and organizations will on August 10, lead a monumental one-million-man protest in each of the 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

“This event will mark a critical juncture in our nationwide EndBadGovernanceInNigeria campaign, which began on August 1, 2024.

“It started as a planned 10-day protest but has evolved into a sustained and widespread movement, drawing participants from every corner of Nigeria and the diaspora.”

The protest, as reported by Naija News, began on August 1 and is set to conclude on Saturday, August 10.

It aims to draw attention to the severe hardships facing citizens, urging all levels of government to take action.

Despite being hijacked by criminal elements, the protest has seen significant participation nationwide, particularly in the northern states.

President Bola Tinubu addressed the nation in a broadcast on Sunday, urging protesters to stand down and allow his administration more time to address their concerns.

However, demonstrations have persisted in Abuja, Kano, and other parts of the country.
