Nigeria will experience significant protests under the hashtag #EndBadGovernanceProtest on August 1.
The hashtag #EndBadGovernance has been trending on Twitter, with Nigerians voicing their displeasure with the current state of governance. The protest is gaining momentum.
Many Twitter users have expressed their frustration, pointing to issues such as economic hardship, corruption, and a lack of basic amenities. Tweets like “We deserve better! #EndBadGovernanceProtest” are common.
However, the Nigerian government has responded differently.
According to Information Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday urged Nigerians to cancel the planned #EndBadGovernance protest scheduled for August 1. Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, revealed this to select State House correspondents after meeting with the President. He appealed to the organizers to postpone the protest and wait for the President’s response to their grievances.
“We discussed the state of the country, and Mr. President has asked me to inform Nigerians that he listens to them, especially the young people planning to protest.”
The government’s request received mixed reactions; some saw it as an attempt to pacify dissent, while others viewed it as a sign of transparency and a commitment to change.
The #EndBadGovernance protest has resonated with many Nigerians, reflecting a strong desire for change.
As the planned protest date nears, it remains uncertain how the situation will develop and its impact on the country’s political landscape.
