Join protest like your Bangladesh counterparts – Sowore tells Nigerian students

Omoyele Sowore has urged Nigerian students to join the upcoming second phase of the #EndBadGovernance protest. The protest, dubbed ‘FearlessInOctober,’ is set to take place nationwide in October.

Sowore made this appeal while drawing a comparison between Nigerian students and their Bangladeshi counterparts, who participated in a massive uprising against their leaders. The activist and politician pointed out that the revolt by Bangladeshi students ultimately led to the resignation of the country’s Prime Minister.

Sharing two pictures, Sowore said: “A Tale of Two Religious Countries – BANGLADESH and NIGERIA! The first photo shows Bangladeshi students embarking on a massive revolt against their leaders, which led the Prime Minister to resign and flee the country.

“The second photo is of students of the University of Ibadan in Nigeria during an “UPPER ROOM” religious event on August 16th, 2024.

“The Nigerian students shunned the nationwide #EndbadgovernanceInNigeria, while Bangladeshi students led their own version of #EndbadGovernance revolt.

“Nigerian students still got a chance to fully partake in #FearlessInOctober.”
