The convener of #RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, has urged Nigerians not to be deceived by President Bola Tinubu’s planned national broadcast on Sunday.
Sowore stated this moments after it was announced that the President Tinubu will address the nation as the ongoing nationwide hunger protest entered Day 3.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
However, Sowore urged people to start arriving in Abuja on Sunday for the planned invasion of Eagles Square on Monday.
He said, “We’ve been informed of a plan by the @officialABAT to address the “NATION” tomorrow (Sunday); the “address” is designed to chill what they know would be a massive outing for #EndBadGovernance in Nigeria on Monday, August 5th 2024.
“Don’t fall for this trick. Keep mobilizing for EAGLE SQUARE Abuja at 7 a.m. on Monday.
“People should start arriving in Abuja tomorrow if they decide to close down roads entering Abuja. Satellite towns around Abuja are also being mobilized to engage in ACTION. #NoGoingBack #EndBadGovernace #RevolutionNow.”
Naturenex understands that protests in some states have seen some aggrieved youths suffer injuries while running from teargas fired by security operatives, while there are allegations of some being shot during the protest.
