Buhari told former Nigerian leaders that #EndSARS protesters ‘gradually turned violent’ after the government conceded to their demands.
The former heads of state were unanimous in their advice to Buhari that generation of employment and growing the economy including through direct foreign investments were critical to checking youth restiveness and that the president should endeavor to work on it.
The former Leaders commended the actions taken by Governors to address the demands of the #EndSARS protesters and their efforts to check the excesses of those who perpetrated violent acts and conduct.
Buhari has vowed that his administration will not fold its arms and allow miscreants and criminals to continue to perpetrate acts of hooliganism in the country.
Buhari said that ”We have accepted all the demands and proceeded immediately to scrap SARS.
”Unfortunately, the protesters refused to call off the protest and engage the Government to address their grievances. Instead, they became emboldened and gradually turned violent.”
