I'm Disgusted With CNN And BBC's Coverage Of #endsars Protest - Buhari by boman2014: 8:43am On Dec 09, 2020
President Muhammadu say he is disgusted by the
international media coverage of the recent
#EndSARS protests in the country. Especially by
the CNN and BBC, because they were not
balanced.

Speaking at a meeting on Tuesday with State
Governors to review the security situation in the
country, the President wondered why the news
outlets did not report the killing of policemen and
jail breaks recorded during the protests.

A presidency statement issued after the meeting
said Buhari “noted that the foreign press
coverage of the #EndSARS violence was not
balanced, citing specifically the CNN and BBC, for
omitting the number of policemen killed, police
stations that were razed, and the prisons that
were thrown open for inmates to escape”.

It went on to quote the President thus: “I was
disgusted by the coverage, which did not give
attention to the policemen that were killed, the
stations that were burnt, and prisons that were
opened. (They said we are all at fault. We don’t
have the sympathy of anyone. We are on our
own)”.

He reiterated that violent demonstrations would
no longer be allowed, adding that “democracy does
not mean confusion or lack of accountability.

“We do not stop anyone from demonstrating, but
you don’t set up roadblocks and smash
windscreens. Which government will allow that?”
Giving an overview of the security situation in
each of the zones, the President said his
administration had done well in the North East
and South South, adding that the South South
situation was still worrisome.

“Every day I get situation reports about illegal
refineries and the blowing up of pipelines. You
must stop local rogues from sabotaging oil
installations”, he told the South-South Governors.

Addressing the issue of banditry and kidnapping
reported in each of the geo-political zones,
President Buhari said “security is important and
we must secure the whole country. We are thinking
very hard on the issue of kidnapping. We will make
it possible for the military to get to the bandits
and kidnappers and eliminate them.’’

He explained that the closure of the nation’s land
borders was partly an attempt to control the
smuggling in of weapons and drugs.

“Now that the message has sunk in with our
neighbours, we are looking into reopening the
borders as soon as possible.’’

He further charged all the Governors to work
more with traditional rulers and community
members to improve local intelligence gathering
that will aid the work of security agencies.

The President, who listened to presentations by a
Governor from each of the six geo-political zones
on their specific security challenges, recalled that
in the old order, communities identified new
comers and passed information to constituted
authority.

“The sub-region is no longer safe, more so with
the collapse of the former Libyan leader,
Muammar Gaddafi’s regime and the cross border
movement of weapons and criminals.

“Governors must work with traditional rulers. Try
and work with traditional rulers to boost
intelligence gathering”, he said.

Giving his word that the security situation would
be salvaged, the President: “I am not going to the
public to speak about the vehicles and equipment
we have ordered. What I can say is that the
military received armoured cars and other
equipment and they are training the trainers.

More of such equipment, including military
aircraft will come in.’’

On the eight-month long strike by Academic
Staff Union of Universities, the President said
lecturers had not taken into consideration the
larger challenges facing the country.

According to Buhari: “Government conceded
something. The problem is that they refused to
look at the problem of the whole country. The
Minister of Labour is working hard at it. It is
amazing how ASUU will stay out of classrooms for
so long. There’s a need for our elites to
understand the challenges facing the country.’’

We are more disgusted at your gross incompetence, dictatorship and inability to understand what is happening around you.

We are also disgusted that too many massacres are happening in ur regime, but you are too vegetative to do anything about it..
You lack both the mental and physical capacity to rule a Nation.

Kindly resign...so that more befitting and intelligent people will take over.
