Omoyele Sowore, rights activist and convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, has urged protesters to continue with the #EndBadGovernance protests nationwide.
Grassroots Parrot had earlier reported that Human Rights Lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN, asked youths to immediately suspend the demonstrations.
Adegboruwa is one of the lawyers of the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups participating in the nationwide protests.
He regretted the deaths and losses recorded during the demonstrations, saying it was not the goal of the protests.
“I appeal to the protesters to withdraw themselves from their various protest grounds and to suspend the protests immediately and indefinitely in order to give room for meaningful dialogue and engagement with the government. Adegboruwa said this in his statement.
Reacting, Sowore, in a statement on his X page (formerly Twitter), said, “Good day, fellow conscious citizens.
“Thank you all for staying the course in the last 24 hours since the commencement of the #endbadgovernancerevolution.
“Note: the daily barricades, marches, rallies, and people’s congresses should be intensified.
“We want to notify the public that in addition to street marches, those at home should engage in pot-and-pan protests against hunger, poverty, and starvation.
“Grab your pots and pans now and start banging them on your streets; take them with you to the roadside.
“Bang, bang, bang! Revolutions are “the festivals of the oppressed and the exploited!”
