"We are using June 12 as a day to exercise our democratic rights. The Constitution clearly states that the government's primary duty is the security and welfare of the people. That has failed under Tinubu," Sanyaolu stated.
Citing a report by Amnesty International, he claimed that over 10,000 Nigerians had lost their lives to insecurity since Tinubu took office.
"In Benue State, over 40,000 people are displaced; in Plateau, the figure is around 68,000. Nigerians are suffering, and the government appears indifferent," he said.

"Under this administration, the civic space is under attack. Government critics are being hounded. We want to raise awareness and push back against this trend," he added.
Sanyaolu issued a stern warning to security agencies, urging them to protect rather than repress protesters.
