June 12 Protest To Hold In 20 States Over Hardship, Insecurity

Ahead of Nigeria’s Democracy Day on June 12, 2025, the #TakeItBack Movement has confirmed plans to stage protests in at least 20 states, targeting the worsening economic hardship, insecurity, and what it describes as shrinking democratic freedoms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

The group announced multiple rally points nationwide, urging citizens to join in peaceful demonstrations to demand accountability and good governance.

“Our demands remain consistent. June 12 represents an opportunity for Nigerians to peacefully demand good governance and accountability,” said Juwon Sanyaolu, the movement’s national coordinator.
