Organisers of #EndBadGovernance protests defy IGP, to proceed with street rallies

Organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protests have rejected the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun’s proposal of confined rallies.
The IGP had during a meeting with promoters of the nationwide protests over hunger and other socio-economic challenges slated to begin on August 1 urged them to limit their rallies to confined areas.
However, a lawyer to Take It Back Movement, one of the groups behind the protests, Ebun Adegboruwa (SAN), in a chat with journalists on Tuesday said they would go ahead with street rallies and show their anger against some of the policies of the government that had caused hardship in the country.
The Federal Government and other concerned Nigerians have continued to appeal to organisers of the protest to drop the idea to avoid a repeat of the unfortunate experience of the October 2020 #ENDSARS protests in the country.
The National Assembly will hold an emergency plenary on Wednesday as part of ongoing efforts to stave off the protests.
