Omoyele Sowore, a famous activist and former presidential candidate, has said that he will go ahead with the national protest that is set to happen on October 1 at Eagles Square in Abuja. The Federal Government and the Nigerian Police Force have warned Sowore not to lead the protest, but she is still determined to do so. The goal of the protest is to bring attention to the widespread problems that Nigerians are facing. The activist made it clear that he was determined to stand up against what he sees as the systemic failures of the present administration by saying that there was “no going back” on the protest.
Sowore has been a loud critic of the government, and he wants to use the protest to bring attention to problems that have many Nigerians angry, such as poverty, crime, unemployment, and bad leadership. Through his social media accounts, Sowore stressed how important it was for people to come together and fight the problems that were affecting the country. He told everyone in Nigeria to work together, saying that the country needs change and that the only way to get it is for everyone to do their part.
Nigeria’s Independence Day, October 1, was picked on purpose as the day of the protest to show the fight for freedom and the need for a government that really works for the people. Sowore said that this date not only marks Nigeria’s freedom from colonial rule, but it also marks the start of a better Nigeria that meets the needs of its people. He said that the government was not keeping the promises it had made to Nigerians since the country became independent. He insisted that the protest would show that the people want accountability and growth.
But the planned protest has gotten attention from the government. Both the Federal Government and the Nigerian Police have put out comments warning against gatherings that aren’t authorised. They say the protest could cause problems with public order and be dangerous for safety. Sowore replied that these worries were just attempts to scare people into silence and silence their voices. He said the protest would be calm and that Nigerians have the right under the constitution to say what’s bothering them and ask for better government.
The work that Sowore does is not new to Nigerians. He has been at the front of many movements and protests that fight for freedom, human rights, and good government. Because he wants to see change, he often gets into trouble with the law, which has led to several arrests and court cases. Sowore is still not discouraged by these problems and keeps telling people to speak out against wrongdoing. He thinks that staying quiet and not doing anything will only make things worse and that the only way to make things better is to help.
The activist chose to hold the protest because of how bad things are in the country. Sowore said that rising prices, unemployment, and a lack of safety are making it hard for many Nigerians to make ends meet. He said that even though the government keeps making promises, millions of people are living in misery and hopelessness. Sowore says that the planned protest is a call to action for all Nigerians who have been hurt by bad leadership and want the country to have a better future.
Also, Sowore has said that the government is to blame because it can’t fix the security problems that the country is having. He said that the fact that the government couldn’t protect its people from terrorism, crime, and kidnappings showed that it wasn’t good at what it did. The campaigner told Nigerians to use the protest on October 1 as a chance to demand a government that can protect people and property. He thinks that the country needs leaders who care more about the safety and well-being of their people than about their own needs.
Even though the police have made threats, Sowore is not afraid. He says that he and other campaigners are
