Discordant voices coming from organisers as Adegboruwa, Sowore differ on when to stop nationwide protests
Rights activist and Convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, has urged protesters to continue with the #EndBadGovernance protests nationwide.
It was earlier reported that Human Rights Lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa SAN had called for an immediate suspension of the demonstrations.
Adegboruwa, a lawyer for the Take It Back Movement involved in the nationwide protests, expressed regret over the deaths and losses incurred, stating they were not the intended outcome.
In his statement, Adegboruwa appealed to protesters to withdraw from their protest sites and suspend the demonstrations to allow for meaningful dialogue with the government.
In response, Sowore issued a statement on his X page (formerly Twitter) saying: “Good day fellow conscious citizens. Thank you all for staying the course in the last 24 hours since the commencement of the #endbadgovernanceinnigeria REVOLT. Note: the daily barricades, marches, rallies, and people’s congresses should be intensified. We want to notify the public that in addition to street marches, those at home should engage in pot & pan protests against hunger, poverty, and starvation. Grab your pots & pans now and start banging them on your streets; take them with you to the roadside. Bang, bang, bang! #revolutions are ‘the festivals of the oppressed and the exploited!’”
