The former Minister of Education under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Oby Ezekwesili, has charged the Federal Government against spreading fear ahead of the #EndBadGovernance protest scheduled for Thursday, August 1st.

Ezekwesili who spoke via his verified X handle said the protest is a valid way for Nigerians to express their grievances over their situation.

The former Minister, however, declared her 100 per cent stand with the organisers of the protest.

She wrote: “This unrelenting media propaganda all over the country by the @NigeriaGov and their supporters is just because their badly governed and suffering Citizens finally got distressed and discomfited enough to collectively raise their Voice and ask them to please #EndBadGovernance?

“Your Citizens are asking for Good Governance and instead of seeing this as an opportunity, you are escalating Fear in the Land? Truly sad to see.
