Take It Back Movement Declares June 12 National Day of Protest Against Tinubu’s “Tyranny”
The Take It Back (TIB) Movement has officially declared June 12 a National Day of Protest against what it describes as increasing tyranny, hardship, and democratic backsliding under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. The announcement was made via a press release covered by Sahara Reporters.
The movement is calling on Nigerians across the country to mobilize, occupy the streets, and demand accountability, citing worsening economic conditions, suppression of dissent, insecurity, and alleged human rights abuses as key issues fueling the protest.
“The same democracy we celebrate on June 12 is being dismantled before our eyes,” the group said.
“We will not keep silent while the masses suffer and the state protects only the wealthy.”
June 12, now officially recognized as Democracy Day in Nigeria, marks the annulled 1993 election widely considered the freest and fairest in the country’s history. For TIB, it’s a symbolic date to reclaim the promise of democracy—now seen as under threat.
The protest is expected to take place in major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, and Port Harcourt. Security agencies have yet to respond, but tension is already building online as activists, civil society groups, and students rally support using the hashtag #June12Protest.
