Purpose of #EndHunger protests achieved, CDHR tells protesters
The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) has admonished organisers of the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest not to overstay their welcome.
The CDHR president, Debo Adeniran, said the protest had already achieved its purpose even before it started.
“The protest has achieved its purpose even before today, only that the objective of bringing people together as desired must be actualised and be demonstrated; that is what is going on.
“As we can see, it has been very peaceful except in Bauchi, where we learnt that the security agencies dispersed the protesters, and this is bad and undemocratic. This kind of confrontation can lead to resistance.
“The government has been forced to backpedal on some of its policies affecting livelihood. Government has also known now, that there is a limit to how people can play deaf and dumb while suffering,” the human rights activist said.
Adeniran, also executive director of the Centre for Anti-Corruption Leadership (CACOL), urged government across all levels to think of the ordinary people in whatever policies and programmes are being carried out.
He said Nigerians must not suffer to get essential services and products.
