The group also called on Nigerians to come out en masse to protest against the bad governance in the country, lack of freedom of expression, critics and extra-judicial killings by law enforcement officiaks who ought to protect and serve the Nigerian people.
In addition, demands a reversal of the hike in the price of petrol from N148 to N151; an end to state-supervised and approved impunity under the watch of Buhari; and the sacking of all service chiefs for failing to deal with the insecurity problem.

The protests will take place in all 36 states across Nigeria and in Trafalgar Square, London; Nigerian Embassy, Stockholm, Sweden; Nigerian Embassy, Netherlands; Union Square, San Francisco; Nigeria House, New York; Nigerian Embassy, Washington DC; Dundas Square, Toronto, Canada; and Nigerian Consulate, Frankfurt, Germany.

The group’s statement in part reads:

“The Coalition for Revolution is calling on all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to come out en masse on, October 1, and participate in a massive peaceful protest to demand the reversal of anti-people policies implemented by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

“These harsh policies that have bored a burdensome hole into the pockets of the Nigerian people are coming at a time when citizens are recovering from the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, a global health crisis that was also mismanaged by the Buhari government, plunging already struggling citizens into deeper financial problems.

“It also comes at a time when there is an unprecedented dictatorial-style crackdown on free speech, dissent, activism, journalism and the right to associate and congregate peacefully and protest.”
