The #EndBadGovernance protest has intensified as demonstrators launched a one-million-man protest in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja on Saturday.
The protest, which focuses on the rising cost of living and poor government policies, began on August 1 and is expected to conclude today, August 10.
Organizers had promised a one-million-man protest across all 36 states and the nation’s capital to mark the grand finale of the hunger protest.
Protesters took to the streets early Saturday, holding various placards and chanting, “we are hungry.”
Meanwhile, veteran Nigerian entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has stated that the August 1 to 10 nationwide protest is merely a rehearsal for a larger event. According to Charly Boy, the only solution to bad governance in Nigeria is a revolution.
Plateau News reports that Nigerian youths, dissatisfied with the current administration’s policies, have taken to the streets to express their grievances. The protests, which began on August 1, have seen youths demanding an end to the widespread hardship in the country.
The protest organizers have scheduled today (Saturday) for a one-million-man demonstration across the country.
Speaking on his X handle, Charly Boy argued that when the main revolution happens, it will be neither announced nor televised.
He warned that if the Nigerian government fails to address the youths’ demands, the revolution could be destructive and bloody.
He stated, “It will take a Revolution to find a Solution to bad leadership. I see the August 1st to 10th as a dress rehearsal for the main event.
“The main event will be Unannounced.
“It will be madder than we ever Imagined.
“The REVOLUTION will not be Televised.
“Destruction and Blood will line its wake.
“Hopefully, it will be the Outcome That Will Bring The SOLUTION.”
