Occupy Lekki Toll gate protest to hold tomorrow.
For a few day now, leader of #Revolution now/ Revolution now Campaign and founder of Sahara Reporters- Omoyele Showore has declared that there would be a protest tomorrow- Saturday 13, 2021. It is tagged #Occupylekkitollgate. The major purpose of the protest is to take a stand against hoodlums, or put clearly, unscrupulous people in governance who have been put in positions of power but have done nothing to improve the welfare of the people and the country.
This protest has been gearing up since the Endsars protest. Showore himself is arguably one of the most viable activist of our generation. If you could recall, he was arrested by the Nigerian State Security Service in August 2019 for creating the protest/campaign we all know as “Revolution now” and was not released until a month after.

He was arrested again on January 1, 2021 for organizing a crossover protest in Abuja and some other states in Nigeria. Now, with Occupy Lekki Toll gate protest, he shows he is undaunted, a force that can be reckoned with but cannot be quelled.
Meanwhile, after the announcement of the protest, speculations of violence and threat against protesters have been made. It is also said that most of them come from the government who promise to deal with anyone who participate in the protest.
We can only pray that the goal of the protest will be achieved and that no casualty or violence will be recorded.
Occupy Lekki Toll gate/ #occupylekkitollgate protest hold tomorrow at Lekki Toll gate by 7:00 AM
