Less than a week after suspending the nationwide protest against hardship in Nigeria which held from August 1st to 10th, the mobilisers say Nigerians have the right to request the assistance of Russian govt and other countries in their struggle against hardship in the country.
The Protesters at a media briefing in Abuja, insist that they are returning to the streets in the coming days as no amount of accusations and arrests of members will forced them to back out of the demonstrations until their demands are met.
The ten days nationwide protest that occurred in several states except in some south -eastern states in nigeria was suspended upon the completion of the time frame given to the federal government amid efforts made by security agencies who tear-gassed and arrested some members of the #endbadgovernance protest.
Over one week after some arrests, some members are still in the security detention centre including
Michael Lenin, Sodiq, Opaoluwa and Angel.
