Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has arrived at the Ikeja under bridge in Lagos to lead the EndBadGovernance protest scheduled for today, Tuesday.

The well-known human rights activist was seen with a large group of demonstrators holding placards, calling for an end to the worsening economic situation in the country.

Sowore, one of the main organizers of the protest, had previously announced plans for a nationwide demonstration on October 1.

The protest aims to pressure the government to address the severe economic crisis affecting millions of Nigerians.

The movement is expected to take place across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), coinciding with the nation’s 64th Independence Day celebrations.

The gathering is not just a call for economic reforms but also a demand for accountability and better governance.

Protesters are using the symbolic date of Independence Day to highlight the gap between Nigeria’s potential and the current struggles of its citizens.

Sowore and his fellow demonstrators hope to ignite meaningful change through peaceful advocacy, pushing for solutions to the growing economic challenges the country faces.

As the protest gains momentum, many Nigerians across the nation are joining the movement, seeking to draw attention to the pressing need for reforms and better leadership.
