Following the controversial comments made by the Northern Leaders in which they stated that the demonstrators of the EndSars movement were targeting a regime change, A protester has hit back stating that the Northern Governors have a shallow understanding.
The protester who goes by Raphael Adebayo, said the comment showed that the Northern leaders have a shallow understanding of the issues being laid down by the campaigners.
According to him, it is sad that the leaders fail to capture the plight of the youth despite the number of protesters brutalised and killed by security agents during the street rallies.
Adebayo noted, “This exposes their shallow understanding of the issues being canvassed by the #EndSARS. It also shows the quality of leaders we have in the country.
“After weeks of protests during which scores of protesters were violently killed by paid thugs and security agents, the best certain group of leaders can come up with is to say it was targeted at regime-change. Telling us that their only concern is about political spillover shows that they are not concerned about issues that #EndSARS protests are raising.”
The activist, who reiterated that the #EndSARS protesters were only interested in reform of the Nigeria Police, further said that regime change might happen if the government continued to turn a deaf ear to the demand of the people.
“Because they have done so badly, so wickedly, they should be worried this would eventually get to them asking them to leave power. For now, the #EndSARS protest is not about regime change but if the government wants it so, then it should be prepared because if this legitimate demand for justice continues to be ignored, Nigeria will see change and there would be no way out for this regime that has declared itself anti-people,” Adebayo stated.
