Please can somebody confirm this for us?

Chukwudi, i am an igbo like you. Tinubu did not say those words. I hate lies and propaganda.

PaChukwudi44:

He did not say that.

Ikinternational:

Maybe I'll copy n paste my own press release sef
Since everyone here is their own moderator

Did you not see the channel news link?

I advise this woman as a sister to lie low and stop for now. This is Nigeria. If any thing happens to her but God forbid, she will.be forgotten in one month and her family will bear the consequences. There is always a time to retreat. She has done her beat.

I think it is time this woman keep quiet. Let her go to the tribunal to place her evidence. The more she talks the more she is inciting the thugs unless she is using this to achieve popularity.

HOW ENDSARS PROTEST WAS HIJACKED; MISDIRECTED, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS FORMER HEADS OF STATE

It is unfortunate that the initial genuine and well-intended protest of youths in parts of the country against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) was hijacked and misdirected, President Muhammadu Buhari told former Heads of State and Presidents of Nigeria, Friday in Abuja.

In a virtual meeting with the former leaders, President Buhari reiterated that the Government will not fold its arms and allow miscreants and criminals continue to perpetrate acts of hooliganism in the country.

At the meeting were all living past leaders, including: Gen. Yakubu Gowon, President Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Chief Ernest Shonekan, Gen. Abulsalami Abubakar, and former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The President recounted the initial concessions made by his administration on the demands of youths protesting against the excesses of some members of the SARS.

He recalled that the youths had demanded that the squad be disbanded, and further articulated the additional demands, including:

''The immediate release of all arrested protesters.

''Justice for deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families.

''Setting up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reports of Police misconduct within 10 days.

''Psychological evaluation and re-training of all disbanded SARS officers before they can be re-deployed; and increase in Police salary.''

The President declared: ''We accepted all the demands and proceeded immediately to scrap SARS and started the process of addressing the other demands.

''Unfortunately, the protesters refused to call off the protest and engage the Government to address their grievances. Instead, they became emboldened and gradually turned violent.''

President Buhari expressed concern that in the mayhem that ensued, many lives have been lost, a number of public and private properties completely destroyed or vandalized.

Reiterating his pledge to Nigerians from the nationwide broadcast Thursday, the President reaffirmed:

''We will continue to improve good governance through our democratic process including through sustained engagement.

''We shall also continue to ensure that liberty and freedom, as well as the fundamental rights of all citizens are protected. Here, I want to also reaffirm our commitment to preserving the unity of this country.”

The President thanked the former Heads of State for attending the meeting and their invaluable comments, observations and advice, adding that ''Nigerians expect nothing less from responsible statesmen.''

Each of the former leaders commended President Buhari for steps taken so far to restore calm and order to the country and also applauded the presidential broadcast of Thursday as detailed and soothing to the country.

''I commend the speech of last night. The nation had been waiting. You made points that I believe need to be commended. Peaceful demonstration is part of democratic practice. The demands of the genuine protesters were accepted, and you are working on implementation. We commend you,'' former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, said.

The former heads of state were unanimous in their view that generation of employment and growing the economy including through direct foreign investments were critical to checking youth restiveness.

They also expressed their condolences to the bereaved families of civilians, policemen and soldiers killed as a result of the violent protest, and reaffirmed the commitment to respect the fundamental rights of citizens, including for peaceful protest as enshrined in the Constitution.

The former Heads of State also condemned the divisive and inciting pronouncements of separatists, and were of the opinion that such acts should be stopped.

Equally, the former Leaders commended the actions taken by Governors to address the demands of the ENDSARS protesters and their efforts to check the excesses of those who perpetrated violent acts and conduct.

Finally, they called on youths to pursue peaceful means, in seeking redress through engagement with Government and encouraged further conversation with the youths and other stakeholders in the country.

#EndSARS: I Don’t Think It's Wise To Block Traffic, Nairaland Founder Says, Nigerians React
Osewa disclosed this in a tweet on Monday.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKOCT 19, 2020

Oluwaseun Temitope Osewa, a Nigerian Internet entrepreneur and founder of Nairaland, has condemned the blockade of major roads in the country by #EndSARS demonstrators.


Osewa disclosed this in a tweet on Monday.


Oluwaseun Temitope Osewa
“I don't think it's wise for ‪#EndSARS‬ protesters to block traffic. The struggle against armed forces brutality will be long and hard. You can't keep the poor from earning their daily bread for much longer without losing their support,” he said.

While some of his followers hailed him for the post, many kicked against it, saying the blockade was for the benefit of the ‘poor people’.

“Who are the protesters fighting for, the rich? Do you know what you’re talking about? Do you think the rich cares? If the poor cannot sustain this momentary displeasure how do they combat poverty?Working for penury all their lives? Please redirect, except you’re part of the prob,” a Twitter user wrote.

“Block everywhere....na this I don't care attitude put us for this one so....some people think because they have not been harrasssed its none of their business...this is not just an ‪#EndSARS‬ protest its ‪#EndBadGoveranceInNigeria‬ ....‪#EndSARS‬ is just a starting point,” another user wrote.

@adekemitog wrote, “We re fighting for the poor people invariably. Most of the celebrities in the fore front of this fight can afford basic amenities. It's this same poor people that the govt is using to rig and vote during election. So let's all suffer now so they won't be poor in future.”

@JattoDaniel said, “He raised a valid point, the protests should move to the nodes of the economy where the big men(who can effect change) benefit.
Inconveniencing common people who may not understand the underlying long-term benefits of the protests may make their support wane, we need the numbers.”

Nigerian youth have taken to the streets for more than one week now, calling for reforms within the Nigeria Police Force.

Although Mohammed Adamu, Inspector-General of Police, has announced the disbandment of the SARS and the creation of the Special Weapon and Tactics team as a replacement, the youth have insisted on a total reform of the police as well as better welfare for citizens.

dokie:
There is a case he is said to be directly involved in.

He demolished the hotel within 24 hours?

gidgiddy:
No Governor can control Police. Nwafor and SARS were not under Obi's control so whatever they did has nothing to do with Obi.


Its like saying that all the Governors should be held accountable for all the SARS killings in Nigeria when SARS is under Federal government control and not state control

But he was in charge of the hotel demolition?

Kundagarten:
Failed woefully.
Obo have spoken

Dont allow anybody to hijack the protest for selfish interest.

The attack on the governor is a mistake. It is like given the government an opportunity to crack down on the protesters.
