#ENDSARS: Ex-Lagos Governor, Tinubu, Justifies Use Of Force On Peaceful Protesters By President Buhari's Government

Former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has called on Nigerian youth to stop the ongoing #ENDSARS protests across the country, justifying the use of force against the demonstrators.

Tinubu, who had earlier denied sponsoring the protest, said the youth must end the action now and “also be careful not to fritter away such gains due to lack of moderation and strategic thinking”.

He also said that the ongoing protest was tilting towards a change of regime, adding that the government will have to make use of force to end the ongoing protest.

He said, “The protesters have made considerable gains within a very short period. But they should also be careful not to fritter away such gains due to lack of moderation and strategic thinking. 

"For instance, it is unfortunate that hoodlums, thugs and assorted criminals have seized on the protests to perpetrate violence, disrupt civil life and harass, intimidate and assault innocent persons going about their lawful business.

“The intent of the organisers of the protests is to achieve stated objectives on police reform, which the government has in principle accepted. It can certainly not be their motive to cause generalised anarchy or effect regime change.

“If they give the impression that that is their goal, then any government will necessarily have to act with the requisite decisiveness and force to restore law and order and preserve constitutional rule.

“However, the protesters must be careful not to set the stage for the erosion or destruction of the same democratic process that gives them the freedom and right to protest in the first place.

“Let me commend all our religious leaders, Christians and Muslims for their patriotism and high sense of responsibility at this sensitive time. I appeal to them to call on their teeming followers to call off the protests for now and give peace a chance.

“Finally, I also strongly appeal to the protesters -- you have made your point. Government has made its commitment to you. Please, please and please, call off the protests. Give government a chance to implement your demands.”

"No evil deed will go unpunished.Any evil done by man to man will be redressed.If not now then later. If not by man then by God. For the victory of evil over good can only be temporary'

I'm begging the protesters to stop too. If their demand not implement by Government they can resume the protest again.

You demanded for #EndSars, the FG ended it and proposed SWAT which exists even in your worldly paradise, America. You insist no former SARS will be part of SWAT, the FG agreed . Yet you are still on the rampage setting hardened criminals holes up in correctional facilities free. Abeg wetin you want? I support the FG on the use of lethal force, protests are no licenses for anarchy. Let FG clear them all.

TechyMm0:


And who told you only Yoruba's were at Lekki Toll gate

Stop colourising or differentiating death and murder

Murder is murder whether Ipob or EndSars,

You need to stop seeing things the way you are seeing it now
