As Nigeria marked its 64th Independence Day Anniversary, hundreds of citizens have taken to the streets of Abuja in a protest tagged #FearlessInOctober, calling for an end to bad governance.
The demonstration, which was organized by various civil society groups, activists, and concerned citizens, resonated with the ongoing frustrations over Nigeria’s political, economic, and social challenges.
The event also revived the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria movement, which was held two months ago.
Waving placards with bold messages such as “Enough is Enough,” “End Bad Governance Now,” and “We Demand Accountability, Reading. Continue” the protesters, many of whom are young Nigerians, are currently marching in the heart of the Nigerian capital.
They are led by prominent human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
