#EndBadGovernance Protest: No Going Back! Say Organisers
Our reporter who checked occasions around the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday, said the previous country director of Action Aid Nigeria, Ene Obi and Hauwa Mustapha who are important for the coordinators, said they would keep on appearing at the Moshood Abiola stadium until the lapse of the 10-day fight.
Other protesters had deserted quite recently the two ladies to their faith, as no protest was held in Abuja on Tuesday.
“Look at the president speaking to Nigeria. It was a totally empty speech. What are you telling us? Not even one of the demands has been met. And you are telling us to go to the stadium. we are here at the stadium nah. let our children come,” one of the coordinators, Ene Obi told journalists.
“We are mothers. What they are doing is setting our children against us. Even the police and security agencies- which of them is going to a different market? Their money is useless. They are turning our children against us. We are sitting here, let them teargas us. So many of them, I can give birth to them.”
“The mothers in the land are wounded. No employment. Many of our children have gone to school but have no employment. We are calling for an end to bad governance.”
“They said you need to appoint one minister from every state. We don’t have minister of state in the constitution. And they are even creating more seats for more ministers to come in.”
“There are no signs from the government to show us that they can bring down the cost of governance.”
The development comes following days of violent protests in the nation’s capital, with police operatives firing tear gas at the protesters.
