The Take It Back movement — one of the organisers of the just concluded 10-day nationwide #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests against hardship on Saturday vowed to return to the streets with a 10-million-person march if President Bola Tinubu fails to address their demands.
For the past 10 days, protesters have taken to the streets of Abuja and other major Nigerian cities, demanding the reinstatement of fuel subsidies and reduced electricity tariffs, among other grievances.
They have expressed frustration with President Tinubu’s apparent disregard for their concerns, despite their persistent demonstrations.
Abiodun Sanusi, an activist, said the movement would pause protests temporarily, but vowed to return with a bigger and more determined crowd if demands are not met.
He said, “Earlier on, we declared 10 days of rage to end bad governance in Nigeria. However, it is now clear that President Bola Tinubu is not ready to listen to the demands of Nigerians.
“Today is the final day of the 10 days of rage, but we are promising the Nigerian government and President Tinubu that we will come back until he accedes to our demands.”
“We will return to the streets, and this time, we will be more than this. We will be declaring a 10-million-person march across the 36 states of Nigeria and the FCT,” Sanusi added.
Thousands of protesters flooded the major streets of Yola on Saturday, passionately calling for President Bola Tinubu’s swift intervention to address the socio-economic crisis gripping the nation.
A group of concerned Nigerian women under the aegis of Women Against Hunger had also held a massive rally against the current economic crisis in Nigeria.
The women who were singing in front of the National Stadium in Abuja called the attention of the President Bola Tinubu’s government to the hunger which Nigerians are currently facing due to his failed policies.
