“He Doesn’t Speak For Us” – Organizer Disowns Adegboruwa, Vows To Continue Protests

One of the organizers of the #EndBadGovernance protests against economic hardship, Take It Back Movement has distanced itself from a human rights lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, asserting that he does not represent their movement.

Despite Adegboruwa’s calls to suspend the demonstrations, the organizer vowed to continue their protests until the federal government addresses their demands.

Damilare Adenola, the Director of Mobilisation for the Take It Back Movement, made this known during an appearance on Channels Television’s The August Protests programme on Friday.

Adenola emphasized that while Adegboruwa may have sought protection for the protesters from security agencies, he does not speak on behalf of the group.

Adenola said, “Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa is not our lawyer and he doesn’t speak for us. He might have presented himself as the solicitor but he is not hungry. He is a senior advocate of Nigeria who lives well. He is not hungry like the people taking over the streets.

“We are waiting for the government to respond to us and address our demands. And until then, the protests continue,” he said, adding that though the demands of protesters have not been addressed, a statement has been made to the government of the day.

He said the protests have shown Nigerians they can hold their leaders accountable.

Asked whether the protests were being sponsored by anyone, he said the sponsors of these protests were hunger and economic deprivation.

Adenola said if the Federal Government is sincere and concerned with the plights of the people, the President would have addressed the demands of the protesters by now.
