Momodu reacted after the government deployed significant security personnel and equipment in anticipation of #EndBadGovernance demonstrations which commenced today.
Nigerian publisher and activist Dele Momodu has lashed out at the federal government over its show of force in response to planned protests which is totally in contrast with the ongoing security challenges facing the nation.
He took to X on Thursday to lament.
Momodu stated, “So Nigerian government can mobilise this kind of force and military hardware, yet bandits and kidnappers are on rampage everywhere.”
The activist’s comments come as authorities have deployed significant security personnel and equipment in anticipation of #EndBadGovernance demonstrations which commenced today. Momodu’s comment follows a video showing many police officers at a yet-to-be-identified location.
Posting further, Momodu stated, “The good news is this government has already acknowledged and guaranteed the success of the protests inadvertently.”
However, the show of force has not been able to stop protesters as many are already gathering in Abuja and Lagos, among others.
