BREAKING: I won’t sign off 2021 budget without compensation for #ENDSARS victims – Gbajabiamila

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila has vowed not to sign off the 2021 budget without adequate provision for compensation of victims of police brutality and demand of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The Speaker described protesting youths across the country as midwives of national rebirth, saying their agitation has brought about a historical moment in the country.

Addressing his colleagues at Tuesday’s plenary, the Speaker said: “You (protesting youths) have moved a nation to action, and now you must join in doing the hard work of making real the vision of a more just, more prosperous, and more resilient nation.

“We see your true cause. Please do not allow your righteous cause to be hijacked by those with base motives, who see in this moment an opportunity to pursue vendettas, to spread division, exploit the many existing fissures that exist in our society and bring our nation to its knees.

“You have raised your voices and marched to demand a better Nigeria. From Abuja to Washington, to Calgary and London, your voices have been heard.

” Do not allow anybody to convince you that to withdraw from the streets now is to concede defeat.

Yoruba man speaking not some coward dat will run out of d country

It was Gbaja that first stood down 22bn dollars loan for Buhari when Southeast cried out that they were excluded from what the loan was meant to provide.

It was Gbaja who recently withdrew the Water Resources Bill after public outcry by Nigerians.

Gbaja is the one saying this now.

I think I'm beginning to like Gbaja.

Just maybe not everyone in APC and all Tinubu urine drinkers, is stupid, irrational and senseless.

It should come from the nass budget for not reacting fast enough.

This kind move dey sweet me

Gbaja you try

you fire tthe first shot. Don't run when it backfires

Good talk.
But these men knew all this evil all this time why didn't they ever speak up?

If they born you well don't sign it. Meanwhile Senate president is not effective I dont know what is going with him

This is good.
I hope this decision won't take a tribal dimension soon.

violence is the only language understand by Nigeria government, that's why they grant amnesty to armed group and oppress the docile ones.
Blood is a price that must be paid for freedom, revolution in Nigeria is long over due. After revolution then we can restructure or disintegrate .

Hope th
