Political figure Joe Igbokwe has expressed strong disapproval of involving children in political protests, labeling the practice as immoral and harmful in the context of the #EndBadGovernance movement.
Joe Igbokwe, a leader within the All Progressives Congress (APC), has criticized politicians who, in his view, exploit innocent and impoverished children for their own selfish political agendas.
This comes in the wake of public outrage over the arraignment of minors arrested in August this year for protesting against hunger.
Reports indicate that the protesters, identified as minors, were arraigned and subsequently granted bail of N10 million each on Friday. The case has been postponed until January 2025.

In a Saturday post on his official Facebook page, the APC chieftain attributed the development to politicians who incited the violent protests.
He stated, “Using other people’s children for political games is both evil and despicable. Meanwhile, your own children are attending top universities worldwide.”
Sure, here’s a revised version: “You believe you can harm other people’s children while your own will thrive? Please reconsider and educate yourself. Remember, the law of karma is always present.”
