Senate Spokesperson Decries lackadaisical attitude of Presidency to #ENDSARS Protests
The Senate Spokesperson, Dr. Ajibola Bashiru has decried the lackadaisical attitude of the Federal Executive Council to the lingering anarchy and destruction of lives and property across Nigeria.
Against this backdrop, Dr. Bashiru urged the President to live up to the Constitution and find a lasting, peaceful and human friendly solution to the crisis and also comply with the several resolutions of the National Assembly.
The Senator who represents Osun Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly spoke in a release signed by his Media Adviser, Remi Ibitola having monitored with shock the turn out of events on the #EndSARS protest.
According to the statement, the senator could not fathom any reason for shooting into unarmed protesters by governmental or otherwise.
“I have monitored with shock and personal indignation the turn out of events on the #EndSARS protest with evidence of obvious descent of the country, particularly in the Southwest of Nigeria, after the reckless and disturbing incident at Lekki toll gate yesterday evening”.
“As a student who was involved in several protests, I see no reason for the display of outright recklessness by shooting into unarmed protesters by whoever, governmental or otherwise”.
“As an elected representative of the people of Osun Central in the Senate, I deprecate the clear lackadaisical attitude of the Federal Executive to the lingering anarchy and destruction of lives and property. At the sitting of the Senate on Tuesday 20 October, 2020, it was resolved that the President should address the nation, not knowing that the evening of that day will bring about more sinister dimensions to the already deteriorated situation”.
“By section 14 of our Constitution security and welfare of the people is the paramount purpose of government” the statement read.
“I hereby urged the President to live up to the Constitution and find a lasting, peaceful and human friendly solution to the crisis and also comply with the several resolutions of the National Assembly” he said.
