A former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, on Saturday charged Nigerian students to partake in the upcoming second leg of the #EndBadGovernance protest.
The second leg of the protest tagged ‘FearlessInOctober’ will hold in October across Nigeria.
Sowore gave the charge while comparing Nigerian students to their Bangladeshi counterparts who took part in a massive revolt against their leaders.
The activist cum politician said the revolt by Bangladeshi students led to he resignation of the country’s Prime Minister.
Sharing two pictures, Sowore said: “A Tale of Two Religious Countries – BANGLADESH and NIGERIA! The first photo shows Bangladeshi students embarking on a massive revolt against their leaders, which led the Prime Minister to resign and flee the country.
“The second photo is of students of the University of Ibadan in Nigeria during an “UPPER ROOM” religious event on August 16th, 2024.
“The Nigerian students shunned the nationwide #EndbadgovernanceInNigeria, while Bangladeshi students led their own version of #EndbadGovernance revolt.
“Nigerian students still got a chance to fully partake in #FearlessInOctober.”
The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest which spanned for 10 days ended a few days ago.
Protesters had demanded a return to the fuel subsidy regime, release of Nnamdi Kanu, among others.
Nigerian students should join protests like their Bangladeshi counterparts – Sowore
