The Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, in the 2023 general election, Omoyele Sowore has threatened to embark on another adventure of the #EndBadGovernance protest in October 1st.
Sowore stated that, if the current administration refuse to accede to the demands of the agitators, the angry demonstration will continue, on the day Nigeria will be celebrating 2024’s Independence Day.
The AAC candidate, who is also one of the organisers of the nationwide’s movement, led this out during an interview conducted by News Central TV on Saturday, which marked the final day of the protest.
According to the controversial human right activist, the rally will be a call for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government to Scrap the 1999 Constitution and replace it with a People-made.
He said: “If our demands are not met within the specified timeframe, we will resume the protest on October 1, or potentially earlier, depending on the prevailing circumstances and variables.
