Dr. Isa El-Buba, General Overseer and President of El-Buba Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI), led the #EndBadGovernance protest in Jos, Plateau state capital, on August 1.
As the national coordinator of the Initiative for Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN), El-Buba emphasized that the demonstration would be peaceful.
Protesters gathered at the Plateau Secretariat overhead bridge early in the morning, prepared to march towards the old airport roundabout.
In his speech, El-Buba addressed the difficulties faced by Nigerians and called on President Bola Tinubu to reverse certain policies, such as the fuel subsidy removal, high electricity tariffs, and the rising cost of living.
Despite the Plateau State government’s prior rejection of the protest due to security concerns, the event proceeded peacefully with security personnel ensuring order.
Additional demonstrators gathered at the British American roundabout, and many local businesses closed in support of the protest, contributing to its peaceful nature.
