Saturday, August 10, is expected to be the last day of the#EndBadGovernance protest, but for the Take It Back Movement, a key organiser of the mass protest, that date, will only mark the beginning of another protest.
Perhaps, many had thought that Nigerians were bluffing when they vowed to take the #EndBadGovernance protest beyond the proposed ten days.
Now, the Take It Back Movement has announced a massive one-million-man demonstration planned for Saturday.
This one-million-man demonstration is set to hold across all 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The National Coordinator of the movement, Sanyaolu Juwon, made this announcement on Thursday in Abuja.
One-Million-Man Protest
According to Juwon: “The Take It Back Movement (TIB), side-by-side with other organizers and organizations will on August 10, lead a monumental one-million-man protest in each of the 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
“This event will mark a critical juncture in our nationwide EndBadGovernanceInNigeria campaign, which began on August 1, 2024.
“It started as a planned 10-day protest but has evolved into a sustained and widespread movement, drawing participants from every corner of Nigeria and the diaspora.”

The #EndBadGovernance protest kicked off on August 1 and is set to conclude on Saturday, August 10.
#EndBadGovernance
The protest is against the lingering economic hardship and hunger ravaging the country.
The #EndBadGovernance protest has seen significant participation nationwide, particularly in the northern states.
While many states enjoyed a peaceful protest, others, especially in the North, recorded high number of violence.
Not even President Bola Tinubu’s address was enough to calm the anger of Nigerians.
The president addressed the nation in a broadcast on Sunday, urging Nigerians to shelve the protest and allow his administration more time to address their concerns.
However, demonstrations have persisted in Abuja, Kano, and other parts of the country.
