#EndBadGovernance: Organisers reject IGP’s proposal, insists on street processions
Organisers of the planned #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest have rejected the proposal by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun for confined protests.
At the virtual meeting with the organisers on Tuesday, the IGP suggested confined protests in identified locations and advised against street rallies.
However, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), one of the lawyers for the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups organising the nationwide protests, rejected the proposal of the IGP.
Human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), representatives of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), other lawyers, civil society organisations as well as some arrowheads of the planned protests attended the meeting.
The planned protests which have been a major conversation on social media, have been scheduled to be held across all states of the Federation as well as the federal capital territory.
Some of the points of convergence for the protests as Eagle Square, Abuja; Alausa Park, Lagos; Akpakpava Lane, Benin City; School of Agric, Bauchi; Rosewale Filling Station, Iwo Road, Ibadan; Maiduguri Roundabout, opposite State Stadium, Damaturu, Yobe State; Rainbow Roundabout and Pantani Stadium, River and Freedom Park, Osogbo.
