‘No Going Back’ – Omoyele Sowore insists on October 1 Protest @www.asknig.com

?No Going Back? - Omoyele Sowore insists on October 1 Protest

Former presidential candidate, journalist,  Omoyele Sowore, has given an update on the planned October 1 Hunger protest.

 

Taking to X on Monday, September 30, Sowore insisted that protest will be held across the country, despite kicks by the Federal Government and warnings by the Nigerian Police Force.

“NO GOING BACK! #FearlessInOctober”, he wrote

The nationwide protest will hold at the Eagles Square Abuja, according to Sowore.

“The protests will hold across all parts of Nigeria because the scale of the devastation, hunger, insecurity, and hardship that this government has unleashed on Nigerians is national. I will emphasise again that these will be peaceful protests, as they’ve always been.“The last protests were peaceful, yet the government met the protesters with batons and bullets.“We will not be deterred, though. Our only weapon is truth, and no amount of force or violence will prevent us from speaking truth to power,” he said.

“Between the last protest just two months ago and now, petrol prices have risen by almost N300 per litre. The naira has further devalued, and prices have increased in the market. Bandits have taken over and killed off entire communities. Floods are devastating our cities.

“Under these circumstances, can anyone be surprised that the Nigerian people want to voice their displeasure with this government’s failure to address the issues affecting them?

“We are prepared to come out to protest. We are determined to do so peacefully. I can assure you that thousands of voices will be raised in protest on October 1.

“The pangs of hunger and groans of pain of the Nigerian people will not be drowned out by the government,” he said during an interview session shared on his handle.”

The protest organizers in Lagos say they plan to start their march at the Ikeja Under Bridge at 7:30 am.
