The Coalition for Concerned Nigerians, the group behind the #EndBadGovernance protest in Osun State, has urged residents to take to the streets in protest against the worsening hardship in the country.
Speaking to journalists in Osogbo on Monday, the group’s coordinator, Adetunji Ajala, expressed disappointment that despite last month’s protests, the administration of President Bola Tinubu has ignored the cries of the people.
Ajala noted that following the End Bad Governance 1.0 protest, the federal government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has shown no willingness to address the citizens’ demands. Instead of alleviating their struggles, he said, the government has intensified hunger and hardship across the nation.
“The current administration does not listen to peaceful talk of addressing fuel hike price and hunger that majority of Nigerians are passing through which necessitated the end bad governance protest.
“The President Bola Tinubu-led government instead of reducing the suffering of people, have increased the price of petroleum, which led to an increase in prices of commodities in the market, increase in shelter and accommodation fees even when the new minimum wages is yet to be implemented in many states.
“It is on this note that we urge residents in the state to join the peaceful protest make our voice sound louder and show our grievances that nothing is worth being celebrated for independence day. For us, it is a “National Day of Survival”.
