 Lagos: “E no go work” – Joe Igbokwe reacts as Sowore unveils anti-govt protest venue, time


A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has vehemently rejected the plan by a group of Nigerians to extend the planned nationwide protests to Lagos State.


DAILY POST reports that one of the key organizers of the protest, Omoyele Sowore on his verified Facebook page on Sunday revealed where the protesters would convene.


According to him, in Lagos State, the venue for the protest scheduled for August 1 to 10 would be the state Secretariat in Alausa.


He wrote, “#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, LAGOS is READY! Venue: Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa Time: 7am”.


In another post, Sowore said, in Edo State, the meeting point for the protest would be “Museum Ground, King’s Square, Ring Road, Benin City”.


Commenting on the last post, Igbokwe said the Lagos venue will not work, stressing that the 2020 EndSARS protest almost destroyed the state.


He wrote, “To Alausa? Oga e no go work again ooooo. Lagosians no go smile this time around ooooooo. #ENDSARS nearly destroyed Lagos”.
