Organisers of the nationwide #EndBadGovt protest have warned security agencies that there will be consequences if any of the protesters is attacked.

According to the protesters, they will demand the resignation of President Bola Tinubu and his entire cabinet, if any of them is attacked in any part of the country.

The Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, State Security Service and other security agencies have been threatening protesters against going ahead with the exercise.

The security operatives hinged their warning on the deaths and destruction that marred the October 2020 #EndSARS protest, Kenyan uprising, expressing worry that the #EndBadGovt protest may turn out the same.

However, in a flier circulating on social media, advertising the protest contained a 10-point agenda, the intending protesters, in turn, warned security agencies that, “During this protest, if one protester is killed, maimed or arrested, we will not back down until Tinubu and his entire cabinet step down.”

Despite the threat and claims by government officials that the protest was sponsored by foreign mercenaries, organisers resolved to go ahead with the protest on August 1, 2024.

According to the organisers, the protest is against hunger and hardship in the country caused by the harsh economic policies of President Bola Tinubu since his assumption of office on May 29, 2023.

Shooting at Protesters is akin to pouring fuel on fire.

Enough said.

That is another protest on its own.

It's not August 1 but so many accusations and threats already.

Why would anyone open fire at a crowd for no reason? How's that even reasonable?

Dem say make una no use that opportunity steal and burn things like those Kenyan protesters, else na transition to eternal bliss


Threatening the Govt itself shows how uncivil this guys are

Nobody want Tinubu resignation, all we ask for is to make things affordable the hardship is too much. If some unscrupulous individual want to use our hardship protest to address their personal grievance they should use other alternative available to them.

Don't hijack our peaceful protest and our demands are legitimate as citizens of Nigeria in a democratic settings.

Any group or individual disguising as protester just to hijack our protest should stay clear we warn

Faceless bitter grievingory Obi people are here again

This one don turn to movie!

Who are these organizers? Are they not the same ones that said peaceful protests were their right?

Now they want violence? Na wah o!

If they think threatening the president will yield results, they better check their history. Tinubu no dey shake for anybody.

This is just noise without substance!

You're not different from him, if you have to accuse him of being Yoruba, as if Yoruba people are not the main organizers of the protest.

As long as you and your co-protesters recognize the right of those not ing in your protest to their one right of association and freedom to go about their daily business. Your right to protest stopped when you trample upon other citizens right.


By the way, the Sowore man that issued the ten bogus agenda that he and his co-protesters know cannot be fulfilled, in in the USA with his family and will not the protest physically but online (as himself states).


And you that have no common sense will the protest to satisfy someone’s ego and your life in danger. THINK AND REASON AM WELL. It’s your choice, your prerogative

These protest organizers need to understand that the days of lawlessness are behind us. Tinubu is not one to be intimidated by threats; he stands firm in his mandate. If they want to protest, let them do it peacefully, but they should know that Nigeria is not a playground for mischief-makers.

We’ve had enough of these empty threats; it’s time to focus on governance and development. The presidency is not a game, and those trying to destabilize our democracy will be met with the full force of the law. Let’s channel our energy into building a better Nigeria instead of engaging in chaos.
