Take It Back Movement Plans One-Million-Man Protest Across Nigeria on Saturday
The Take It Back Movement has announced a major one-million-man protest scheduled for this Saturday across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
This demonstration is part of their EndBadGovernance campaign, which began on August 1, 2024.
According to Mr. Sanyaolu Juwon, the National Coordinator of the movement, the protest will be a pivotal moment in their ongoing campaign.
Originally intended to last 10 days, the initiative has expanded into a significant, sustained effort involving participants from across Nigeria and abroad.
The aim of the protest is to highlight the severe challenges faced by citizens and to call for immediate government action.
Despite some disruptions caused by criminal elements, the protest has garnered significant support, particularly in northern regions.
President Bola Tinubu’s recent appeal for protesters to halt and give his administration more time has not deterred the ongoing demonstrations, which continue in cities such as Abuja and Kano.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
