By now, any honest Nigerian knows I am simply huge of Citizens Voice.
It was reason I propounded the concept of the #OfficeOfTheCitizen at a #GenVoices event in 2014.
It is why I never cease to push Citizens to never slack in demanding for Good Governance and Accountability.

When I saw the young citizens rise in unison to embark on #EndSARS protests across the country, it made me so very happy for them.
When the @PoliceNG responded with brutality, my heart raged and so I quickly wrote a letter and went to meet the IG of @PoliceNG on the 9th October.

Imagine how grossly disappointing it is to watch @PoliceNG heighten the tempo of brutality despite the assurances by the IG after reading my letter and discussing for more than an hour at that meeting of the 9th October. Haba!
The past week has been horrific #EndSARS protesters.

This morning, I saw this issued by the IG of @PoliceNG and just had to do this Thread.
Imagine!
Something so simple that the IG should have done 8days ago and averted the maiming and killing of young #EndSARS protesters is only now important to him.
It grates one’s spirit.

In societies that take Public Accountability seriously, the IG of @PoliceNG should by now have done the most honorable thing and resigned for failing in his primary mandate of keeping citizens secure and worse for superintending officers that have willfully brutalized citizens.
The least the IG can do until the right step is taken by his Boss, @MBuhari to give the @PoliceNG a fresh start; is make the word in his belated press release count for a change.
Let not one #EndSARS protester be brutalized ever again.
Protect Citizens’ right to protest, Mr IG.

I end with yet my Pinned Tweet.
The Truth will always annoy some of you folks but nothing you do should ever make Citizens stop insisting that their Leaders must “Take Responsibility and provide Accountability” for the legitimacy they got from the #OfficeOfTheCitizen. #EndSARS!
