Senate on Tuesday at plenary urged President Muhammadu Buhari to as soon as possible address the nation on issues of EndSARS protest in the country.
They said the need for the President to urgently address Nigerians is imperative, especially the protesters on the issues raised and appealed to all Nigerians to resort to the use of legal institutions to resolve disputes and conflicts.
The senators also urged all tiers of government to put in place and sustain policies of social-economic reforms that would raise the standard of lives of the people.
The senator expressed dismay that despite the dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, police officers have continued to brutalise citizens.
The lawmakers, however, urged the Nigerian youths and the citizens to approach the National Assembly Committees on Constitution and Reforms, in order to secure far-reaching holistic amendments that were vital to the restructuring of the nation.
They asked the #EndSARS protesters to kindly, in the interest of everyone, stop their actions, and embrace genuine dialogue.
The Senate also resolved to, “Urge the Federal Government to faithfully and comprehensively implement all the five demands of the #EndSARS movement and protesters with necessary timelines to rekindle confidence in the government.”
