The Yoruba Revolutionary Movement has declared its support for the planned national protests scheduled for August 1-10, 2024.
The group’s National Coordinator, Wale Balogun, said this on Friday during a media briefing.
The group dismissed allegations that the protests were targeted against Yoruba interests, calling it “mischievous state-sponsored propaganda.”
Balogun condemned the use of the Oro festivity as a political weapon to intimidate voices of dissent.
He urged Yoruba people and Lagos residents to defy and resist the illegal curfew imposed by the ‘political Oro.’
The group also called on security forces to handle protesters with decorum, stating that protesters are not waging war against the Nigerian state but demanding an end to hunger, starvation, and deprivation.

Balogun said, “We dissociate ourselves and people from the compromised civil society organisations who have pitched their tent with our oppressors and are now using money to rent a crowd and misguided opportunists to march in support of predators.”
