Hence, the dire need to provide a viable platform to track and report incidences during the protest to ensure both sides did not cross the lines. This is against the background of alleged statements perceived as a threat, dissuading the youth from participating in the protest and counter allegation.<\/font><\/p><\/span>\n<span style=\"background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><font color=\"#000000\"><\/font><\/p><p style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/protest.pdf\" attributes-list=\"\" download=\"CSO, SOAI Sets Up Observatory and Communications Room To Monitor, Track and Report #EndBadGovernance Protests Activities for Accountability and Proper Documentation\">Download this public statement<\/a>,&nbsp;to continue reading&#8230;<\/p> \n<\/span>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<em style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\"><br>\n<br>#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest&nbsp;#SpeakOutAfricaInitiative<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551-300x180.jpg",300,180,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"large":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"benevolent-slider":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"benevolent-community":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"benevolent-blog":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"benevolent-with-sidebar":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"benevolent-without-sidebar":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551.jpg",325,195,false],"benevolent-featured-post":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551-275x195.jpg",275,195,true],"benevolent-recent-post":["https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1000180551-75x75.jpg",75,75,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/author\/admin\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1619"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1621,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1619\/revisions\/1621"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speakoutafricainitiative.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
