Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has joined the ongoing protest in Lagos State
Sowore who is one of the key organisers of the protest arrived at the protest ground at the Ikeja Underbridge at exactly 8:50am.
Addressing newsmen, Sowore said the protest was a crucial step towards taking Nigeria to the “promised land”.
He emphasised that the action symbolised the people’s rejection of the government’s Independence Day celebration.
Sowore also questioned whether Nigerians had not given the government enough chances, citing how former President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly misused the additional time given to him.
Protesters, on Tuesday morning, gathered at the Ikeja Underbridge in Lagos State as the country marks the 64th Independence Day.
The protest, however, is being closely monitored by a large contingent of security personnel, including policemen, officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
Meanwhile, the protesters are currently marching along the Awolowo Way.
