However, the apex socio-cultural organisation of Ndigbo, Ohanaeze, Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, former governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation(SGF), Chief Olu Falae, have faulted the Army’s claim that the protest was a plot by subversive elements to destabilise the country. They described the protests as a spontaneous outburst from youths who were dissatisfied with the state of affairs.
Ohanaeze, the umbrella body of the Igbo, admonished the Army to keep quiet and know that Nigeria was practicing democracy.
National publicity secretary of Ohanaeze, Uche Achi-Okpaga, said the Army was only trying to cover up its alleged complicity in the sponsoring of thugs to destabilise the protests.
“In a democracy, the Army should take orders from democratic authorities. They should be seen and not heard.”
Also, elder statesman and Afenifere leader, Chief Adebanjo, berated the Army.
He said the President could not pretend not to know how the Lekki Tollgate shooting was carried out.
“How can he say he does not know? Is it another case of unknown soldier, like what happened under Obasanjo? When Governor Sanwo-Olu was calling him, he made himself incommunicado. That is why restructuring is the only way forward. If the governor is the chief security officer of his state, would he have allowed his people to be killed?”
Former governor of Anambra State, Dr. Ezeife, said the protest was a result of the comprehensive failure of government.
“EndSARS is signifying that the chickens have come home to roost. Anywhere in Nigeria, people are not happy with what is happening.”
On his part, Chief Falae urged the Army to either come out with information they have on the #EndSARS protests to authenticate their position or shut up.
“Given the way the young people conducted themselves, I don’t think they were sponsored by anybody. If the Army has any information on that, they should come out with it but, if not, they should shut up.”
Buhari my president lack good sense of management. Why should he keep security officers that are not performing. Bola Ahmed Tinubu should be pursue day & night for hypothesing Southwest to follow him like mumu to vote in Buhari twice bcos of his selfish ambition to be Nigerian president. Generations of Nigeria will not forgive Tinubu.More
They are all pretenders, Are they not? Keeping the palliative while the masses were Hungry.
This evil unthinkable act has been happening for very long time in this zoological republic, in the name of safeguarding this fake fraudulent unworkable zoological republic called Nigeria.
Brainless Burantai always looking for stupid excuses to cover his inefficiency
