A group, Take It Back movement, has requested the use of Eagle Square for the proposed #EndBadGovernance protest scheduled from August 1 to August 10.
In a letter to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, the group highlighted demands for amenities and security.
The letter, signed by Damilare Adenola, Director of Mobilisation, stated, “We write to notify you of our decision to use Eagle Square as a point of convergence for patriotic Nigerians to demand better governance.”
The group requested a 24-hour power supply, toilet facilities, water, and security for the convenience of protesters. They also appealed for the removal of the outer wire mesh barrier facing the Aso Rock Villa for easy access to the Presidential Villa.
The protest, tagged #DaysOfRage, may be prolonged beyond ten days as the group aims to resolve the “protracted national crisis occasioned by the ruling party.” The group seeks the same honour and courtesy accorded to foreign and local dignitaries who have used the space.
