The Director of Mobilization of the Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, who disclosed this on Monday, said the protesters’ demands would remain the same unless there were other issues, requiring them to add more.
“Yes. It is called the ‘Fearless in October Protest’. Our charter of demands stands as same. We will add more as the country decays further,” he said.
EKO HOT BLOG recalls that youths across the country had staged the #EndBadGovernance protests nationwide, including the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, despite efforts by government officials to stop the protests.
Few days before the protests, the protesters had submitted a list of demands, asking the government to, among others, scrap the Senate arm of the National Assembly and make lawmaking a part-time job for the House of Representatives.
They also asked the government to pay workers a minimum of N250,000, reverse fuel prices and the cost of electricity tariffs to pre-January 2023, and release and compensate all #EndSARS and political detainees.
On whether the protesters would heed court orders from state governments requiring them to hold demonstrations at designated points, Adenola said “we won’t accept the compliance.”
Similarly, an activist and human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, said efforts were currently being directed towards ensuring the release of protesters who had been arrested during the previous protests.
“All efforts are being directed towards securing the release of those that have been arrested,” Adeyanju said.
EKO HOT BLOG recalls that hundreds of those arrested during the last protests were to appear in court yesterday in Abuja but had their appearance shifted to today.
