YRC Celebrates Acquittal of 11 #EndBadGovernance Protesters, Demands Public Apology From Nigerian Government The Youth Rights Campaign (YRC) has welcomed the Federal High Court’s acquittal of 11 #EndBadGovernance protesters previously charged with treason and terrorism over the August 2024 demonstrations against hunger and economic hardship. Justice Emeka Nwite dismissed the case, citing the prosecution’s lack of diligence and repeated delays. The activists, who had spent weeks in detention before their arraignment, were discharged and acquitted after the prosecution failed to appear in court. YRC described the ruling as a victory for democratic rights and accused the government of attempting to use the charges to intimidate future protesters. The group demanded a public apology, return of seized belongings, unfreezing of bank accounts, compensation for victims, and the release of other detained protesters, emphasizing that peaceful protest must not be criminalized in Nigeria.

Lawyer Seeks Compensation, Apology After Court Acquits 11 #EndBadGovernance Protesters An Abuja Federal High Court has discharged and acquitted 11 #EndBadGovernance protesters after striking out all treason and terrorism charges filed by the Bola Tinubu administration. Justice Emeka Nwite described the case as baseless, leading human rights lawyer Abubakar Marshal to demand immediate compensation, restoration of frozen accounts and a public apology from the Nigerian government. Marshal condemned the prolonged prosecution as state-backed persecution, insisting the protesters were victimised for exercising constitutional rights to demand good governance. He said the ordeal—detentions, frozen accounts, and reputational damage—violated their freedoms and must now be remedied. #EndBadGovernanc #HumanRights #NigeriaJustice

Abuja Court Frees 11 #EndBadGovernance Protesters, Dismisses Treason and Terrorism Charges A Federal High Court in Abuja has acquitted 11 activists arrested during the 2024 #EndBadGovernance protests, striking out all treason and terrorism-related charges brought against them. Justice Emeka Nwite ruled that the allegations were unfounded, marking what activist Adaramoye Michael Lenin described as a “historic victory.” The protesters had been detained for over a year after security agencies accused them of attempting to destabilise the country during nationwide demonstrations fuelled by economic hardship, insecurity, and public frustration under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Human rights groups consistently condemned the charges as politically motivated attempts to suppress dissent. With the ruling, all accused individuals have been fully discharged. #EndBadGovernance #HumanRights #AbujaCourt

YRC Mobilises Nigerians for December 10 Protest, Demands Release of #EndBadGovernance Activists The Youth Rights Campaign (YRC) has urged Nigerians nationwide to join the December 10 protest marking World Human Rights Day, organised by the #EndBadGovernance Movement. The group warned that Nigeria is “on the brink” due to worsening repression, rights violations, and the alleged misuse of the Cybercrime Act to target critics under the Tinubu administration. YRC is demanding the dismissal of treason and terrorism charges against 11 detained protesters arrested in 2024, accusing the government of delaying their trial to silence dissent. The group also highlighted ongoing persecution of activists, workers, students, and journalists, as well as widespread demolitions displacing poor communities. YRC says the protest aims to build a united resistance against anti-poor policies and systemic abuses.

#EndBadGovernance: Workers’ Coalition Demands End to Trial of Abuja 11, Accuses Government of Political Persecution The Solidarity Network for Workers’ Rights (SNWR) has called for the dismissal of all charges against the 11 activists arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests, describing the case as a politically motivated attempt to suppress dissent. Ahead of the December 10 court hearing, the group accused the Nigerian government of weaponising the judiciary, failing to provide credible evidence, and ignoring the worsening hardship facing citizens. SNWR said the trial exposes rising authoritarianism and urged labour unions, students, and global human rights bodies to intensify pressure for justice and the release of all political detainees.

Protesters, Slams Political Persecution The Solidarity Network for Workers’ Rights (SNWR) has raised a fresh alarm ahead of the December 10, 2025 court session in the ongoing trial of 11 young activists arrested during the #EndBadGovernance demonstrations. The group described the prosecution as a “state-orchestrated witch-hunt” aimed at silencing citizens who protested against hunger, inflation, insecurity, and worsening poverty. In a statement signed by its coordinator, Daniel Akande, the coalition accused Nigerian authorities of weaponising the judiciary to crush legitimate dissent. SNWR said that over a year after the arrests, the government has failed to present “a single credible piece of evidence” to support allegations of treason or an attempt to “wage war against the state.” Akande — who is also one of the defendants — claimed he was abducted from a place of worship and later framed in a treasonable felony case he knew nothing about. #Nigeria #HumanRights #EndBadGovernance #WorkersRights

💔 From Renewed Hope to Renewed Hardship 💔 Nigerians are asking: Is Tinubu’s regime the worst in our history? 🔻 Fuel subsidy gone, transport & food prices skyrocketing. 🔻 Naira value sinking, inflation at record highs. 🔻 Insecurity still raging—bandits, kidnappers, unrest. 🔻 Promises of relief, but daily life is tougher than ever. Many say this is not the “renewed hope” they were promised, but renewed suffering. 👉 Do you agree? Has Tinubu’s government made life harder than ever? #Nigeria #Tinubu #RenewedHardship #EndBadGovernance

From Renewed Hope to Renewed Hardship: Life Under Tinubu Many Nigerians describe President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s regime as “the worst” because of the following issues that have hit people hard: 1. Economic Hardship • Fuel Subsidy Removal: The sudden removal of fuel subsidy in May 2023 caused fuel prices to triple, leading to skyrocketing transport and food costs. • Naira Depreciation: The naira lost much of its value after Tinubu floated the currency. This made imports more expensive, driving inflation. • High Inflation: Inflation has reached record highs, with food inflation especially severe, pushing millions deeper into poverty. 2. Cost of Living Crisis • Rising electricity tariffs, fuel prices, and basic commodity costs have made life extremely difficult for ordinary Nigerians. • The middle class is shrinking, and many families can no longer afford essentials like education, healthcare, and even food. 3. Poor Governance & Corruption Concerns • Critics argue Tinubu’s appointments are heavily tilted towards loyalists rather than competence. • Perceived lack of transparency in government contracts, loans, and policies has fueled distrust. 4. Insecurity • Banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency continue despite promises of improved security. • Many communities in the North and Middle Belt still face regular attacks. 5. Public Outrage & Protests • Widespread protests (like #EndBadGovernance in 2024–2025) have erupted over hardship. • Tinubu’s administration has been accused of using excessive force and intimidation against protesters. 6. Erosion of Trust • Many Nigerians feel Tinubu came to power through a controversial election with allegations of rigging and manipulation. • Promises of “renewed hope” have turned into what many call “renewed hardship.” ⸻ 👉 In short: Nigerians see Tinubu’s government as “the worst” because it combined sharp economic decline, high living costs, insecurity, and governance concerns—with little visible relief for the suffering majority.

Nigerians, Tinubu's policies have plunged us into deeper hardship, skyrocketing fuel prices, crippling inflation, and unfulfilled promises. His reforms enrich the elite while we starve. Youth unemployment soars, yet he ignores our cries. #EndBadGovernance went viral for a reason; our pain is real! Share this truth, amplify our voices, and demand accountability. Let’s expose this failure and push for change. Nigeria deserves better! #TinubuMustGo.
