 Proposed Abuja mega rally cancelled


The mega rally planned by a group of June 12 activists under the banner of the Coalition of Pro-Democracy Groups for A Better Nigeria has been cancelled.

Tinubu Mandate Protection Mega Rally (part II) was initially slated to be held on Monday 22 July inside Unity Fountain Square, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

He said his group would monitor events as they unfold in the country to know the association’s next line of action.
