Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has spoken out against the planned protest scheduled for August 1, citing President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to address the country’s challenges.
According to Daily Post, Igboho acknowledged the right to peaceful protest but emphasized that it does not extend to calls for unconstitutional regime change.
He praised President Tinubu’s policies, implemented since taking office on May 29, 2023, which he believes have unsettled those who feel entitled to rule Nigeria.
Igboho accused unknown individuals of attempting to undermine the administration and create discord between the government and the people.
He said, “I, Chief Sunday Igboho, I am issuing this press release in response to the planned protests by some unknown and faceless individuals, who are working to disintegrate the country.
‘’Since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s assumed office on May 29, 2023, he has implemented revolutionary policies, which his predecessors lacked the political will to pursue.
’These bold steps have, unsurprisingly, unsettled those who believe it is their birth right to rule Nigeria. And in response, there have been attempts to undermine his administration, particularly on social media, with the aim of creating discord between the government and the people.
‘’Recently, we have become aware of notices from unknown individuals threatening ’10 days of rage’, beginning August 1, 2024, under the slogan ‘Tinubu Must Go!’
‘’While the right to peaceful protest is enshrined in our constitution, it does not extend to calls for an unconstitutional regime change. It is worth noting that during President Buhari’s eight-year tenure, there were no such protests for regime change from the Southwest, even when our people faced oppression and atrocities by Fulani terrorists.”
