A protest to demand good governance and an urgent explanation for the country’s economic downturn kicks off today in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other major cities across Nigeria.
This is coming after Popular musician, 2Face Idibia, who was earlier expected to lead the protest in Lagos, opted out at the eleventh hour citing security concerns.
The decision to stage the protest has been met with stiff opposition by the Nigerian police who, repeatedly, told the organizers of the rally to call off their planned demonstration.
