Omoyele Sowore Calls for Nationwide Protest, Set To Happen In October

This October, Nigerians are preparing to take a bold stand against bad governance with the upcoming protest dubbed FEARLESS IN OCTOBER. The movement, which coincides with the solemn commemoration of the Lekki Toll Gate massacre, aims to honor the memory of the brave Nigerian youths who lost their lives during the peaceful End SARS protests in October 2020. The protest serves as both a tribute and a powerful demand for change, justice, and a better future for all Nigerians.

The announcement was made by activist and politician Omoyele Sowore on his Twitter account this afternoon, where he rallied citizens to join the movement. He emphasized that FEARLESS IN OCTOBER is more than just a protest—it's a collective cry for justice and accountability, echoing the calls for systemic change that have been growing louder across the nation.

The protest is scheduled to begin on October 1st and will continue until the demands of the people are met. Participants are expected to gather in cities, towns, and villages across Nigeria, as well as in the Diaspora. The largest demonstrations are set to take place at state capitals, with significant gatherings planned at key locations including government houses, Eagles Square in Abuja, and the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos—a site that has become a symbol of the struggle for justice following the tragic events of October 2020.

Sowore's message calls on all Nigerians to unite in this crucial moment, to stand up against the ongoing oppression, and to honor the legacy of those who paid the ultimate price for the nation’s freedom. The movement's hashtag, #FEARLESSINOCTOBER, is already gaining traction on social media as citizens gear up to participate.

As the country approaches this significant protest, the eyes of the world will be on Nigeria, watching how its citizens rise to challenge the status quo and demand the governance they deserve. FEARLESS IN OCTOBER is set to be a defining moment in the nation's history, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Nigerian people who continue to fight for justice, equality, and a brighter future.
