Rights activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Comrade Omoyele Sowore, has urged Nigerians to ignore the statement of a human rights activist, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and eminent Lagos-based Lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN.
Sowore said Nigerians should instead troop in large numbers to the streets to protest against what he described as “bad governance.”
It would be recalled that Adegboruwa, in a statement issued on Friday asked youths to immediately suspend the demonstrations.
Adegboruwa said the protest had been infiltrated by some “angry persons”. He also regretted deaths and losses recorded during the demonstrations, saying it was not the goal of the protests.
However, Sowore, in his reaction via his official X handle said: “Good day fellow conscious citizens
“Thank you all for staying the course in the last 24 hours since the commencement of the #endbadgovernaceinnigeria REVOLT.
“Note: the daily barricades, marches, rallies and people’s congresses should be intensified.
“We want to notify the public that in addition to street marches, those at home should engage in pot & pan protests against hunger, poverty and starvation.
“Grab your pots& pans now and start banging them on your streets; take them with you to the roadside.
“Bang, bang, bang! #revolutions are “the festivals of the oppressed and the exploited!”
