Nigerian activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has announced his participation in an October 1st protest against the hardships inflicted by the current administration.

In a tweet, Sowore highlighted issues such as unemployment, insecurity, hunger, and poverty, which he attributed to the Tinubu-led government.

Sowore expressed his firm belief in protests and revolts as legitimate tools for opposing anti-people policies.

He stated, “Protests or revolts are the only tools that a people have to voice their opposition to the anti-people policies of their government.

That right is enshrined in the gene everyone, and I have every intention to exercise that right on October 1st and beyond.”

Having spent five of the last six years in prison, detention, or confinement under treason charges from the previous administration, Sowore remains undeterred.

He said, “For those who wonder why I refuse to back down or cower in fear, given the threats to my freedom and my life – here is my reply: I committed myself to the cause of fighting for the emergence of a better Nigeria three decades ago. I remain committed to that ideal.”

Sowore reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for good governance and justice, stating that he will continue the struggle for the Nigerian people’s rights to a decent life.

He added, “As long as I have breath in my lungs, and as long as my fists can be raised – I will continue to fight for the right of the Nigerian people to a decent life.

I will continue to advocate for their rights to good governance and I will continue to demand justice for all.”

Sowore called on Nigerians to join the October 1st protest, emphasizing that the fight will continue until the government’s anti-people policies are addressed.

“We will not relent until our point-by-point demands are met,” he said, concluding with a rallying cry for justice and reform.

Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, has admitted he might consider joining the coalition working to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, though he’s not in a hurry to make that decision. Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Ndume confirmed that he has attended several of the coalition’s meetings but made it clear he’s being cautious.

“I know about the opposition coalition. I’ve attended many of their meetings,” he said. When asked if the group had approached him to join them, Ndume responded, “Yes, they’ve spoken to me, but I told them no for now. I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire. I need to be sure of what I’m doing. I’m a loyal person, and I have my reasons for that loyalty.”

His comments follow reports that the opposition coalition plans to rally around the newly proposed All Democratic Alliance (ADA), which has applied for registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The coalition is believed to be led by political heavyweights like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Anambra governor Peter Obi, ex-Rivers governor Rotimi Amaechi, among others.

As President Bola Tinubu arrives in Nasarawa State today, Wednesday, to commission major projects carried out by Governor Abdullahi Sule in Lafia, the Tiv Youth Organisation (TYO) is calling for urgent action to stop the ongoing violence and killings affecting Tiv communities in the state.

During a press briefing on Tuesday in Lafia, the group’s president, Comrade Isaiah Audu, expressed deep concern over the rising attacks that have left several Tiv settlements in ruins across four local government areas. Audu described the attacks as unprovoked and deadly, adding that they have led to the loss of innocent lives, destroyed farmlands, and forced thousands of Tiv families to abandon their homes.

Additionally, he mentioned that the latest incidents took place on June 13 and June 15, 2025, affecting communities like Dooga Ayande in Doma LGA, Antsa in Keana LGA, Tse Yange in Obi LGA, and Tse Akura in Giza Area Administrative Council. Among those reportedly killed were Mr. Terfa Tswabee, Mr. Sham Kyodo, Zaki Kwaghtagher Ordue, and Teryem Aondo Apav. Many others were injured, while families continue to flee their homes in search of safety.

Audu urged President Tinubu to use his visit as an opportunity to work with security agencies and state authorities to put an end to the attacks and ensure the safety of Tiv people. “We are Nigerians too, and we deserve to live in peace on our ancestral lands without fear,” Audu stressed. “Mr. President, we are not just asking you to commission projects today; we are asking you to commission peace and justice for the Tiv people of Nasarawa.”
