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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
