Opposition activists plan major protests across Nigeria for June 12. Hassan Soweto from the Endbadgovernance Movement spoke at a Lagos press conference on Thursday. The group wants to show anger about President Tinubu's economic policies that hurt ordinary people. Fuel subsidy removal and currency changes made life harder for millions of citizens. These government decisions pushed many families deeper into poverty.

Soweto called Tinubu's two years as president a complete disaster for working people. He said removing oil subsidies and weakening the naira destroyed jobs and businesses. The activist leader believes anti-poor policies damaged the economy worse than anyone expected. Nigerian citizens live like slaves under the current administration according to Soweto. Constitutional rights that people fought for during military rule have disappeared.

The protest organizer asked police chiefs to work with demonstrators during the planned marches. Inspector General Kayode Egbetokun and Lagos Commissioner Olohundare Moshood Jimoh received direct appeals for cooperation. Soweto claimed the government operates like a dictatorship that silences opposition voices. Citizens cannot speak freely about their problems under current leadership. Democratic freedoms have shrunk to dangerous levels across the country.
