#EndBadGovernance protest: Tinubu meets APC governors in Abuja
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday met with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a bid to stave off the planned nationwide by a group of Nigerians.
The group had planned to stage a nationwide protest tagged: “EndBadGovernance” from August 1 to express their displeasure over the economic hardship and other problems plaguing the land.
The president, the National Assembly and other concerned Nigerians have appealed to those behind the protest to drop the idea and give the government enough time to deliver on its promises to the citizens.
