The Nigeria Patriotic Front Movement (NPFM) has declared October 1, a day of nationwide protest for national survival.
The civic organisation which stated this in a statement made available to our Reporter on Thursday, stated that a president who makes peaceful change impossible invites only one solution: “People’s Power”.
Signed by Comrade Abdulmajid Yakubu Daudu for the NPFM Secretariat, the group asked Nigerians to make at least 12 urgent demands from the President Bola Tinubu-led government.
The group highlighted in its release, “Food inflation, Petrol overpricing, High cost of governance, High cost of electricity, High interest rates; Insecurity of life and property, Non-payment of pension obligations, Debt slavery for higher education, Starvation wage for workers, Grand corruption and Criminalising protest.”
According to the statement, the protest also seeks the re-nationalisation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and electricity distribution companies (DISCOs).
