Omoyele Sowore, the Convener of the #RevolutionNow Movement, has strongly criticized the House of Representatives for introducing the Counter-Subversion Bill 2024.
He described the bill as “buffoonery” and predicted an earlier-than-expected resurgence of the #EndBadGovernance movement.
Sowore called on federal lawmakers to withdraw the proposed legislation or face a shutdown of the National Assembly.
He stated, “I am asking them to discontinue the bill as soon as possible or face a shutdown of the National Assembly.”
The organizers of the #EndBadGovernance protests have also issued a warning to President Bola Tinubu’s administration, stating that they will resume protests on October 1 if their demands are not met.
The Counter-Subversion Bill 2024 proposes severe penalties for Nigerians who fail to recite the national anthem, destroy national symbols or places of worship, or engage in other activities deemed detrimental to national interests.
The bill is set for its second reading and has sparked debate about individual freedoms and rights.
