Seize the streets on June 12 for a National Protests Action - Mekunnu Koya and Federal Workers Forum call on Nigerians.

*BE PART OF THE JUNE 12 NATIONAL PROTESTS, FOR EVERY ONLOOKER IS A EITHER A COWARD OR A TRAITOR.* Great Nigeria people, MEKUNNU KOYA and the FEDERAL WORKERS FORUM salute your perseverance in the face of hunger, hardship and suffering in the midst of plenty. We call on you to join hands to end the unprecedented poverty caused by a thieving few in the corridors of power who flaunt their ill-gotten wealth with impunity. We call on you all not to empathise with us but to fully participate in the June 12 National Protests Action to reclaim and refocus the mismanaged civil rule in Nigeria towards a genuine democratic process. We appeal to you to support and take part in the mass agitations against bad governance in Nigeria , we believe you are the unsung and genuine heroes of our nascent democracy. Clearly, our experience today is the direct opposite of why we fought military misrule to send the Khaki boys packing. From all intent and purpose, we do not lose our friends and dear ones, we do not lose our limbs, dare police brutality, face persecution and prosecution only for the poor getting poorer and poorer and the few rich getting richer and richer. Our struggles that ended military dictatorship is to enjoy our freedom as freeborn and not as slaves. We ended military rule to have democratic choice in periodic elections and not for any Neo-Fascist to imposed a one party state on us, using enormous state resources to achieve his gluttonous appetite for wealth accumulation and Emperor morbid ambition. Food prices have skyrocketed, people cannot afford basic needs, insecurity of lives and property is the new norm while the government shows gross ineptitude and lackadaisical attitude in their interventions during natural disasters. The Tinubu's renewed hope mantra has become a curse with renewed hardship. If we fail to speak out now, if we fail to act now, if we fail to resist the Tinubu's government anti poor socioeconomic policies, if we fail to reject the script for one party rule now, if we fail to resist an Emperor that has weaponised poverty , it means we have submitted our freedom and liberty, we shall be worse than slaves in our fatherland. We cannot and should not allow our harrowing experience to further degenerate. We have to take our destiny in our palms to reclaim our humanity. As we have nothing to lose but our chains. We must mobilised for a protracted struggle in the coming days, weeks and months. We should organise ourselves in our neighborhood, streets, offices workplaces and our campuses to save our hard earned democracy from the leprous hands of Neo-Fascists in the corridors of power. Dare to struggle, dare to win! Signed Comrade Wale Balogun Convener, Mekunnu Koya Comrade Andrew Emelieze Federal Workers Forum.
