President Muhammadu Buhari says he will not allow a repeat
of the #EndSARS protests that rocked the country in October.
At a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) on
Tuesday, he said “relevant stakeholders”, including the youth, will be carried
along to forestall a repeat.
Dingyadi disclosed this to State House correspondents at the
end of a meeting of the National Security Council presided over by the
President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
The minister quoted the President as saying that relevant
stakeholders, including the youth, will be carried along to forestall a repeat
and build a peace process in the country.
Asked whether it would include a crackdown on potential
protesters, the minister replied, “On the issue of #EndSARS that you have
raised, what we are saying is that government will continue to dialogue, it
will continue to listen and will continue to carry all stakeholders along in
ensuring that there is no repeat of what happened that destroyed a lot of
properties, public and private, individuals in this country.”
Details later…
How is the youth relevant stakeholders being carried along? On the contrary we see the youth persecuted, prosecuted, bank account seizure and travel restrictions. At the last count I am sure the last protest did not receive Authorisation from the Government before going ahead.
