President Bola Tinubu has accused the sponsors of the #EndBadGovernment nationwide protest demonstrations of unpatriotism. The planned protest, which has gained traction on social media, is scheduled to take place across Nigeria from August 1 to 10 and is aimed at addressing the ongoing economic hardship faced by citizens. However, Tinubu, on Thursday, while receiving a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau at the Presidential Villa, claimed that the planned protest sponsors have no love for the country and don’t understand citizenship. He added that those championing the cause of the protests have alternative passports and hold meetings virtually across the world. Tinubu’s spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, quoted him, saying, “The sponsors of protests do not love our country.
