Atiku Commends #Endbadgovernance Protesters

Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has praised the #EndBadGovernance protesters for their “noteworthy” efforts and called on more Nigerians to show support for the protest.

Atiku made this call on Friday on his official X handle while praising the peaceful manner protesters have aired their grievances.

He, however, condemned the violence recorded in certain parts of the country that led to clashes and brutalities by the police. He urged protesters to maintain their peaceful stance and urged the government to heed the voices of its citizens.

I urge the protesters to maintain their peaceful stance and call on more Nigerians to show solidarity and support for the #EndBadGovernance peaceful protest,” Atiku said.

“This is a pivotal moment for our collective voice to be heard, and it must be done with dignity and respect for the law. I also call on the police to engage more professionally in managing these protests. The needless killing of innocent citizens by security agencies is unacceptable.

“The police must refrain from the molestation of journalists who are merely reporting the protest. It is imperative that security agencies exercise restraint while enforcing law and order. Security agencies are encouraged to identify and isolate the minority elements who are resorting to violence and looting, ensuring that the actions of a few do not tarnish the majority of peaceful protesters.

Atiku called on the government to listen to the demands of the people. “To the government, I admonish you to heed the voices of the people and come down from your high horses. It is time to demonstrate a sincere commitment to addressing the demands of the protesters. The nation cannot afford further days of unrest; let this be the moment where leadership listens and acts with integrity and urgency.”
