As the nationwide protests enter the third day, the protesters in Abuja, gathered at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, on Saturday, invited leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria and the Islamic Movement of Nigeria for a “heart-to-heart” talk at the protest venue.
Addressing the protesters, Sydney Usman, who is with the Take It Back Movement, thanked the leaders for their various interventions through the media but asked the leaders to show up at the venue on Monday, August 4, 2024, to discuss with the protesters.
The protester, who described the leaders as their fathers, said they were protesting bad governance in the country, while decrying attacks on the protesters by the police, since the first day of the protests.
They also stated that they would remain at the stadium until the court order restricting them was vacated latest on Monday.
At the moment the protesters are holding a congress to “show the government how it is done.”
