June 12 Protest: Organisers List Nationwide Venues, Demand Accountability From Tinubu’s Govt
A movement in Nigeria is organizing nationwide protests on June 12th against President Bola Tinubu's administration. The protests, coordinated by Juwon Sanyaolu, will occur in over 20 locations across the country, including Abuja, Lagos, Akure, Benin City, and other cities. The movement cites economic hardship, insecurity, and the erosion of civil liberties as reasons for the demonstrations. They claim over 10,000 Nigerians have died due to insecurity under Tinubu's rule, referencing an Amnesty International report, and accuse the government of suppressing free speech. The movement demands accountability and calls on Nigerians to exercise their democratic rights, urging security agencies to protect protesters. They aim to "reclaim the soul of the country" and oppose what they deem bad governance.
