He posted “NO GOING BACK! #FearlessInOctober”, he wrote on Monday.

While giving the nature of the protest, Sowore said protests will be peaceful.

“The protests will hold across all parts of Nigeria because the scale of the devastation, hunger, insecurity, and hardship that this government has unleashed on Nigerians is national. I will emphasise again that these will be peaceful protests, as they’ve always been.
