Business activities resumed in Ojota, Lagos State, on Tuesday as the #Endbadgovernance protesters did not show up as expected. Tuesday marked the sixth day of the nationwide protest against hunger and hardship, with a heavy presence of security agencies on the ground.

Correspondents who visited Ojota reported that no protesters were seen at the assembly point. On Monday, protesters had defied President Bola Tinubu’s Sunday broadcast and gathered at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota to continue their demonstration.

Organisers Hassan Taiwo, Ayoyinka Oni, and Adegboyega Adeniji, on behalf of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Organising Committee, stated that the group re-convened on Monday because President Tinubu’s broadcast had yet to address their demands. They expressed disappointment that it took three days of protest for the President to address the nation.

In his nationwide broadcast on Sunday, President Tinubu affirmed his administration's readiness to listen to and address the concerns of protesters, stating that he had heard their calls “loud and clear.” He urged protesters and organisers to suspend further demonstrations and allow room for dialogue, which he had always been open to.

The organisers acknowledged the President’s decision to address the nation as an “important victory for our movement.”
