The Take It Back Movement (TIB) has written a letter of request for the use of Eagles Square, Abuja, for a #EndBadGovernance protest to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
The letter, which was signed by the Director of TIB, Damilare Adenola, and dated 26, July, 2024 requests that the Eagle Square in Abuja should be allowed as a point of convergence for patriotic Nigerians to demand a better government.
The letter reads: “As one of the groups organizing the forthcoming #EndBadGovernance protest, #DaysOfRage starting from 1st August to 10th, 2024; we at the Take It Back Movement (TIB), Write to your esteemed office, to notify you of our decision to use Eagle Square as a point of convergence for patriotic Nigerians to demand for better governance.
“This request entails using the national asset day and night for the duration of the historic protest. Also, note that the protest may be prolonged beyond ten days as we embark on resolving the protracted national crises occasioned by the ruling party.
“Further, your office must also ensure the provision of 24-hour power supply, toilet facilities, water, and security for the convenience of Nigerian citizens who will be camped out at Eagle Square.
“In short, we asked that the protesters are accorded the courtesy accorded to foreign and local dignitaries who have frequently used the space. In addition, we request that the outer wire mesh barrier facing the Aso Rock Villa be removed in the meantime, as protesters may decide to visit the presidential villa during the protest.”
