Finally, President Buhari Breaks Silence On Lekki Killing by jgurus: 8:57pm On Oct 23, 2020
After criticism from various Nigerians home and abroad, President Muhammadu Buhari has finally expressed sadness of the massacre at the Lekki toll gate area of Lagos.

During the speech, President Buhari failed to address the shooting of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers of the Nigerian Army but rather ordered that the protests against police brutality that rocked various cities across the nation before the Lekki massacre on Tuesday.

President Buhari said:

I, therefore, call on our youths to discontinue the street protests and constructively engage government in finding solutions.

Your voice has been heard loud and clear and we are responding.

However, after receiving backlash from Nigerians, President Buhari on Friday afternoon, said he was “deeply pained that innocent lives have been lost” during the attack on peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday.

Conveying the President’s message in a tweet on Friday afternoon, the Presidency quoted President Buhari to have said that “these tragedies are uncalled for and unnecessary.”

I am deeply pained that innocent lives have been lost. These tragedies are uncalled for and unnecessary.

The Presidency tweeted.

Let's Think Together

Where is Sowore?
Where is Davido?
Where is Don Jazzy?
Where is Deji Adeyanju?
Where is P-Square?
Where is Mr Macaroni?
Where is Broda Shaggy?
Where is Falz?
Where is Aisha Yesufu?
Where is Banky-W?
Where is Toyin Abraham?

Where are those human rights activists telling you to embark on uncoordinated protests?

Where are those inciting you to disobey and despise government's entreaties and solicitations?

Where are those callous politicians playing to the gallery by showing senseless solidarities?

Where are those 'abroadians' fuelling the protest with cash donations and fake news peddling?

Where are those elders pushing you to protest ground while their children are at home enjoying?

Where are those DJs, musicians, artists, celebrities, pastors, imams, motivational speakers urging you to wage war against your fatherland?

Where are those misguided and wannabe youths who made themselves willing tools in the diabolical hands of manipulators?

Are they aware that Nigeria is on fire �!

Are they aware that people are dying on the street?

Are they aware that Yorubland, especially Lagos, is boiling?

Are they aware that IPOB youths are setting the entire Igboland ablaze?

Are they aware that militants are on destructive rampage in the Niger-Delta region?

Are they aware that miscreants and hoodlums are on maiming, raping, looting, kidnapping and killing spree?

Are they aware that wives are now widows?

Are they aware that husbands are now widowers?

Are they aware that children are now orphans?

Are they aware that many are now homeless?

Are they aware that businesses are paralysed?

Are they aware that food is now in short supply?

Are they aware that famine and hunger are looming?

Help us tell them that Buhari is least affected.

Help us tell them that Osinbajo, Obasanjo, Atiku, Saraki and others are not really affected.

Help us tell them that governors are not affected.

Help us tell them that senators are not affected.

Help us tell them that Federal and State Reps suffer no loss.

Help us tell them that Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola and others are not really touched.

Who bears the brunt of these protests?

MASSES! MASSES! MASSES!: The poor, proletariats, civil servants, wage and salary earners, artisans and students are the most affected.

Did we learn any lesson from the wars in Rwanda, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Central African Republic? I doubt it.

Don't let anyone push you against your fellow human beings. Let's stop fanning the flames of discord and uprising. War pays no one. God bless Nigeria.
