EndSARS: It is time for us to negotiate – Buhari tells youths
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday urged Nigerian youths to shun street protests as it is time to negotiate reforms that will bring an to end all forms of police brutality.
Speaking at the maiden National Youth Day celebration, observed on November 1, he assured that his administration has heard the pleas of Nigerian youths.
In a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, he quoted the President saying that the Federal Government ‘‘now wants to hear concrete and practical ideas.
”You must realize that protests cannot last indefinitely. My government will not lift a hand to stop or suppress you, he said
”However, the fact of the matter is that other forces and actors will seek to take over your protests that they may redirect them in ways you did not intend and perhaps do not agree with.
”Every successful protest movement the world over has understood that there comes a time when activity must move from the street to the negotiation table. That time for you has come. Do not be afraid of this reality. You should welcome it.”
Negotiate what? Wicked people
For how many weeks now that the youths have been begging you to listen to them, its now that you are talking about negotiating with the youths. To me o I
think its coming late.
If this is true, it is now you are saying something we will hear and talking like a leader which you are supposed to be
Killing us does not mean anything to us again because we have all been pushed to the wall enough by the so called leaders of this country
The suffering is unbearable and nothing seems to be moving
This man get no shame at all.. useless president…
This is issue is taking too far because this issue on ground needs urgent attention and if care is not taking it might lead to something else.
Always saying youths are the leaders of tomorrow but nothing to show for it, the rate in which the youths roaming about is nothing to write home about.
In every nation the youth is the back of that nation if properly handled but our leaders don’t value us except using youths for thugs, something must be done.
You this man you have started again, see what you are saying…it’s time to negotiate with the youth…please if I may ask… negotiation base on what? If you like do the proper reformation nobody we plead to you anymore.
This present administration are handling the youths with levity hand not only youth but everything in the country, it’s only God can save us.
I think the negotiation will be better, we just need buhari to step down,if he won’t make amendment
We just need what belongs to us.
Medicine after death.
negotiate what so u don’t know y u re in office OK don’t worry just resign pls
