In a bold move reminiscent of past civil uprisings, the #EndBadGovernance movement has declared a nationwide protest scheduled for June 12, 2025.
This date, symbolic of Nigeria’s democratic journey, now serves as a platform for citizens to voice their dissatisfaction with the current administration’s policies and governance.
The Catalyst: Economic Hardship And Policy Decisions
The movement’s leaders, including Comrade Hassan Soweto, have cited the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the naira as key factors exacerbating economic hardship across the nation.
These policies, intended to stabilize the economy, have instead led to increased inflation and a decline in the standard of living for many Nigerians.
A Call For Democratic Accountability
Beyond economic concerns, the #EndBadGovernance movement accuses the Tinubu administration of eroding democratic freedoms. Allegations include the suppression of dissent, restrictions on free speech, and the shrinking of civic spaces.

Such actions, they argue, undermine the very foundations of Nigeria’s democracy.
Public Sentiment And The Role Of Social Media
Social media platforms have become a battleground for public opinion, with hashtags like #EndBadGovernance trending nationwide.
Citizens share personal stories of hardship, mobilize support, and organize protests, highlighting the power of digital activism in contemporary Nigeria.
Government Response And Possible Outcome
The federal government’s response to the planned protests remains to be seen. Historically, such demonstrations have been met with a mix of concessions and crackdowns.
The outcome of the June 12 protests could significantly influence Nigeria’s political landscape and the administration’s future policy directions.
The June 12 Protest
The upcoming June 12 protests represent more than just a reaction to economic policies; they signify a broader demand for transparent, accountable, and inclusive governance.
As Nigeria stands at this crossroads, the voices of its citizens echo a collective yearning for a nation that prioritizes the welfare of all.
