The much-anticipated #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest has commenced in Ibadan today, as demonstrators took to the streets to express their discontent with the government.
In a video captured by 9jaspectators, a procession of protesters was seen marching from the University of Ibadan towards Awolowo Road in the Ibadan area. The leader of the protest, whose identity was not disclosed, addressed the fellow demonstrators, stating that the purpose of the protest is to convey their displeasure with the government's policies that have led to widespread poverty among Nigerians.
"We are using this opportunity to tell the governments at all levels that enough is enough," the leader said. "Nigerians can no longer survive the present economic hardship in the country."
The leader further noted that the peaceful protest will last for 10 days, with daily sessions scheduled from 8 am to 11 am. This arrangement, he explained, will allow participants to continue with their daily activities after the protest.
The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest is expected to draw attention to the concerns of the Nigerian people regarding the state of the nation's economy and governance. As the demonstration unfolds, all eyes will be on the government's response and the potential impact the protest may have on the political landscape.
