Defying calls for suspension
Rights activist and Convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, has urged protesters to continue with the #EndBadGovernance protests nationwide.Recall 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 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 in his statement.
Reacting, Sowore in a statement on his X page (formerly Twitter) said: “Good day fellow conscious citizens
