Another wave of EndSARS protest will collapse the nation’s security system and economy – Yahaya Bello
Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has advised that another round of the EndSARS protest will likely collapse the Nation’s security system.
Governor Bello said this in a statewide broadcast on Sunday, December 6 following reports that a second wave of the EndSARS protest is due to begin.
According to Governor Bello, he said another round of the protest will be premature and counterproductive, he further added that it will also worsens the Country’s economy.
“In the face of all this and as the first sitting governor who publicly upheld the rights of our youths to protest against police brutality, I cannot in all good conscience agree that the time is ripe for another round of #EndSARS protests,” he said.
I deem another round of #EndSARS protests to be premature and counter-productive at this time. Apart from the higher likelihood of conflict with the police earlier canvassed, we must also admit that the security situation in the country is very precarious at the moment.
All patriots must therefore make conscious efforts not to degrade a parlous security situation further. Nationwide protests at this time will only overburden the load-bearing capabilities of our security architecture increasing the likelihood of total collapse. No matter the narrative, I doubt that out-of-control anarchy is an objective of the #EndSARS protests.
To worsen matters, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) predicted 3 days ago that the pandemic could push the number of people living in extreme poverty to over 1 billion by 2030. Thank God they are owning up to my earlier prediction, warning and caution.
Nigeria’s earning and foreign exchange situation is too fragile as we speak to resist sustained shocks.
Another nationwide protest will worsen the multidimensional poverty indices all over our country and work greater hardship on the ordinary Nigerians we claim to be advocating for.” he said
Go and tell that to the heap of money you have looted
Nonsense leaders
Government should take care that aspect before it degenerates to beyond amendment.
What they need is to address it before the youths go out enmass because it will damage things.
That is true but it what we need for this administration to yield to our plise…….
Prevention is better than cure, the government shouldn’t stand a chance of losing properties and lives again. They should act fast.
Yahaya bellobis absolutely saying the bitter truth.
if that’s the problem then u people should do the needful
Abeg Mr. Yahaya Bello if you don’t know what to say please kindly close that mouth of yours, just talking as if the country’s security has been standing before.
