Despite the Presidential broadcast urging to shelve the ongoing protest against hunger in the nation, organizers of the protest in Lagos State have insisted that they would continue the movement today, August 5, 2024, at Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota.

In a statement released on Sunday, August 4 and signed by Hassan Taiwo, Ayoyinka Oni, and Adegboyega Adeniji on behalf of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Organising Committee, the group expressed disappointment that it took three days of protests to address the nation.

President Tinubu on Sunday had a nationwide broadcast in which he acknowledged the protesters’ concerns and urged them to suspend their demonstrations in favor of dialogue.



“We consider the President’s decision to address the nation an important victory for our movement,
” the organizers said.

Without our and resolve to dare the odds, even this acknowledgement would not have happened. So far, we have demonstrated that a President is not greater than the rest of the country,” the statement from the protest group reads

The group criticised the President for what they described as a dual approach: offering dialogue while also demanding an end to the protests. They also condemned recent violence against protesters, including attacks by thugs during a Sunday morning worship session and an incident where a protester was struck on live television.

“In our view, the president cannot be approbating and reprobating at the same time. The President cannot offer an olive branch while at the same time holding a dagger to our throat,” the trio said.

The organizers then called on Nigerian youths and the general public to join them on Monday at Gani Fawehinmi Park for the fifth day of protests. They urged the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, the media, and the Nigerian Bar Association to support their cause and not “stand idly by” as they face suppression.
