OPINION
RIVERS STATE By Christy David | 1st August 2024 | ICC Reporting | Metro Plus | Youth | Nationwide Protest | Global Conflicts | Music #EndbadGovernanceNigeeia
I had the opportunity to speak with Rev. Richard Ihunwo regarding the planned nationwide protest with the hashtag #EndbadGovernanceNigeria. He expressed his opinion that the protest is politically motivated and believes that if not properly controlled, it could have far-reaching implications for the future of Nigeria.
Rev. Amb. Ihunwo has a strong feeling that the protest could either unite Nigerians and lead to a more prosperous country, or it could spark a desire to divide Nigeria in the near future. He emphasized the need for security operatives to protect genuine protesters, as peaceful protest is a basic human right in a democratic society.
He also stressed that participating in a protest does not equate to breaking the laws of Nigeria, and urged for a peaceful and orderly demonstration to ensure the safety of all involved.
Sir Siminalayi Fubara meets with Rivers State protesters of the ongoing end hunger and bad governance nationwide protest at the Port Harcourt Government House, Rivers State to address them.
