Tinubu Govt Hired Us For Rally To Say 'No To Protests,’ Abandoned Us Later With No Water, Food Or Money –Pro-APC Campaigner

SaharaReporters had reported that over 400 Nigerian women were hired by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders to hold a rally against the planned nationwide protest.

A group of women reportedly hired by President Bola Tinubu's government for a counter-protest against the planned #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest have complained that they were abandoned after being used by the government.

SaharaReporters had reported that over 400 Nigerian women were hired by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders to hold a rally against the planned nationwide protest.


SaharaReporters gathered that some influential women leaders in the APC sent a circular to several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Abuja, asking them to mobilise 50 women each to Eagle Square, Abuja to be given 50kg bag of rice each as palliative.

However, after over 400 women were mobilised from various NGOs to Abuja, rather than get bags of rice as promised them, they were given banners saying, “Say No To Protest”.

They said their pictures were taken to make it look like they were not for the planned nationwide protest against hardship. Thereafter, they were left with neither rice nor transport fare as promised.

The circular sent to the NGOs on Friday and forwarded to SaharaReporters by a member of African Youth Union Commission, Esther Adelana, read, “URGENT: Good day distinguished young active citizens, please if you are in Abuja and can make your way to Eagle Square tomorrow Saturday 9am for palliative distribution by one of our partner accompanied with transport logistics. We need fifty young women.”

In multiple viral videos, some women confirmed SaharaReporters’ findings, saying that the APC and Tinubu’s government deceived them and left them stranded in Abuja after they were being used

One of them said, “We were deceived into coming to Abuja for an empowerment rally only to be given placards for ‘Say No To Protest’. They didn’t give us water to drink, no food, no money. They left us stranded.”

“We were called by Tinubu that we would be empowered to oppose the planned protest. We came and we were abandoned in Abuja,” she added.

Good for them, these are the people working against the progress of this country


These unpatriotic folks will collect money to vote bad politicians during elections, they will still collect bribe to sabotage the efforts of well meaning Nigerians during protests even though they are also going through hell, what's wrong with our people in Nigeria

He has used your destiny and dump you too. The likes of you will come enmass in August 1st massive hunger protest in Abuja and other cities tomorrow. #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria

No be today we dey see this kind wahala for Nigeria. Dem go just use una for their agenda, then disappear like magic. Na so politics be, but make we no forget say na we the people fit change the narrative. Instead of complaining, make una use that energy to mobilize for real change.

Cursed set of people.

Gbam !!...
Many of this kind were out there pretending and faking No protest , No protest but deep down them , we're all hungry. And they know the only means to get this people to do least of what we want is via this protest..

So many has turned preacher and lover of the government openly but at one corner of their room they broods..

I tire for my fellow compatriots..

With ordinary the wave of the protests, little little results is coming out ..

This is istration is full of trust deficiency

It's unfortunate to hear about this situation. However, let's not forget that rallying for peace and stability is crucial in these times. The government is focused on maintaining order and progress. Abandonment shouldn't overshadow the efforts being made for a united Nigeria. Let's keep pushing for a better understanding and collaboration!

Sahara are interviewing themselves acting like they were the real counter protesters.

You have the freedom to decline the placards and shout out about what was about to go down

It's like saying "I was told to dip my hands inside an hot oven and I did so even without being forced".

They have not seen anything yet. Tinubu that failed the whole country, you think he will not fail you guys because you went to protest for him.
Do you know how many Muslims that died just for Tinubu to win and abandoned them and their families. He didn't stop there, he imposed poverty on them too.
You guys will trek from Abuja to south West where you were recruited from.

This is just another attempt to tarnish Tinubu's image. It's clear some people are looking for attention and trying to stir up trouble.

Did they really think they could use the government's name and not face the consequences? Tinubu's istration is focused on progress, not pandering to every protest group out there.

If they felt abandoned, maybe they should've thought twice before getting involved in the first place. There are always two sides to a story, and this one sounds more like a cry for relevance than a genuine grievance.

You deserve it, each time we see people like you we get depression. You make us feel like we don't like our country.

Bribery and corruption institutionalized! 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

Rubbish news ....

Your power is nothing if your people cannot afford quality education
Your power is nothing if your people cannot feed
Why you keep deceiving the people my brother my sister

Tinubu is a master strategist; he knows how to keep the peace in our great nation. Those who claim abandonment just don't understand the bigger picture.

bloody illiterate that can't string two or more words together without adding yoruba or pidgin

What a shame! It's quite disappointing to see how some people twist the narrative.

President Bola Tinubu is focused on unity and progress, not on petty protests. Those who are trying to derail the good work being done should just take a seat. The progress we are making is far too important to be overshadowed by distractions. Let's keep our eyes on the prize!

Cursed set of people.
