#EndBadGovernance Day 5: Protests Intensify Across Nigeria Despite President's Speech

On the fifth day of the #EndBadGovernance protests, demonstrators have intensified their efforts across major Nigerian cities, including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, and Zamfara. The protests, which saw a significant turnout at Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Lagos, followed President Bola Tinubu's recent nationwide broadcast, where he promised to address protesters' concerns. However, the president's address has been met with scepticism, as organisers argue it fails to address their key demands. In Abuja, police used tear gas on protesters, while Kaduna saw large groups marching for economic reforms. In Zamfara, protesters displayed Russian flags, adding a new layer of tension. Additionally, the arrest and alleged assault of protest leader Michael Lenin by the Department of State Services have sparked further outrage. Is President Tinubu's response adequate, or is it a temporary measure to quell dissent? What should be the next steps for protesters seeking real change? Watch to gain insights into these crucial questions and more.
