Abuja is set to witness a major demonstration tomorrow, as activist and political figure Omoyele Sowore mobilizes Nigerians for a #FearlessInOctober rally at Eagle Square.
The protest, which has been rapidly gaining momentum across social media platforms, is expected to kick off early in the morning of today, October 1.
The participants were urged to gather at the venue as early as 7:00am.
In a tweet on Monday that has sparked widespread attention, Sowore wrote: “Early morning tomorrow, everyone in Abuja will start heading to Eagle Square as early as 7 am for #FearlessInOctober.”
The hashtag, which has now trended across various online platforms, reflects a bold call for Nigerians to rise against issues plaguing the nation, from economic hardship to insecurity, political oppression, and governance failures.
This protest follows a series of similar demonstrations led by Sowore in the past, including the #RevolutionNow movement, which aimed at galvanizing Nigerians to push for systemic reforms.
Over the years, Sowore has built a reputation as a vocal critic of government mismanagement and has called for a transformation of the Nigerian political landscape.
The rally in Abuja is expected to draw thousands, with youth, civil society organizations, and grassroots movements leading the charge.
Many citizens, frustrated by the country’s persistent issues – ranging from fuel subsidies, inflation, unemployment, insecurity, and a lack of transparency in governance – are expected to turn up in large numbers.
