A coalition of civil society groups and non-governmental organisations has announced plans for a massive one-million-man protest against Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State. The demonstration is set for November 9, 2026, with simultaneous events planned in Abakaliki, Abuja, and Lagos. Organisations involved include 56 NGOs and 39 civil society groups.
Dr Ibiam Oko Ibiam, the coalition leader, stated the protest aims to highlight deteriorating human rights conditions, political assassinations, electoral violence, and alleged mismanagement of funds in Ebonyi State. He called for residents, regardless of political allegiance, to join the effort to rescue the state from alleged political corruption.
Ibiam specifically criticized the governor's handling of public funds, questioning expenditures on SUVs, expensive champagne, and donations to political guests. He highlighted reported assassination incidents, including the gruesome killing of Ubochi Onwe, and questioned the state's spending priorities, particularly the allocation of funds to education and healthcare. The coalition urges authorities to protect peaceful protesters and ensure a peaceful demonstration.
