The declaration was made by a coordinator from the Youth Rights Campaign during a meeting at Gani Fawehinmi Park on Saturday.
Despite a court injunction confining protests to the park, the coordinator announced that demonstrators would leave the park in Ojota and start marching through the streets if their requests are not fulfilled by Sunday night.
He stressed that their next target would be Alausa, the administrative center of the government.
He also encouraged residents to spend Sunday attending their places of worship and praying for national peace. He appealed to the police to monitor and prevent the actions of potential troublemakers aiming to disrupt the protests.
