The Elizabeth Foundation strongly condemns the hijack of EndSars Protest by hoodlums with different objectives and deeply condemns the alleged shooting of unarmed protesters by the military at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos on Tuesday, October 20th, 2020. We equally condemn unequivocally the trend wherein sponsored thugs and hoodlums are used to attack peaceful protesters.

She further condemned the hoarding of the Pallatives meant for poor nigerians and the hijack and looting of the Pallatives by hoodlums using End Sars protest as an umbrella to commit such crime.

Across the country, and specifically in Abuja, Benin, Lagos, and Kano, there have been a disturbing and consistent pattern of planned attacks on protesters and innocent Nigerians using armed thugs who have killed, maimed and destroyed property. Nigerians peacefully voicing their concerns about the state of the country have become victims of violence unleashed by thugs and other rogue elements within the armed services. Nigeria is supposed to be a democratic country where the right of peaceful protest is constitutionally guaranteed. To now down scores of young people using the fire power of the State constitutes a brazen assault on the inalienable right of citizens to life guaranteed in Nigerian Constitution, and in International Human Rights Instruments. The level of impunity and wanton killings of citizens, which is only reminiscent of June-12 1993 protests, must be thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice.

We are in solidarity with the oppressed, harassed and victimized citizens, wherever they may be in this country. As our compatriot, the Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka puts it, the man dies in him, who remains silent in the face of tyranny and oppression. As a civil society organization, whose very existence depend on the protection of civil liberties, we cannot stand aloof and watch on while political pillagers and predators, unleash terror on innocent and defenseless citizens, with the goal of silencing dissent and protest against endless corruption, police brutality, social and economic injustices, and mindless plundering of national resources.

Therefore, the gory and blood-soaked images of Nigerians being shot, and the tragedy of young people losing their lives just because they are peacefully exercising their right to protest, is a stain on our collective conscience. To use the instrument of the state to suppress protests in such a deadly manner, as to recklessly mowed down our youths by the guns and bullets of soldiers paid for by the Nigerian tax payers, inflicts deep wounds in our collective soul. Whoever ordered for the triggers to be pulled against innocent protesters has committed manifold murders.Elizabeth Foundation calls for the perpetrators of these dastardly acts to be immediately held to account and brought to justice. We call on the United Nations, the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Commonwealth, the European Union, and the entire international community to take due note of these killings; and ensure there are consequences. Elizabeth Foundation stands with all families who have lost their loved ones in these needless killings. We hope and pray for justice to reign in order to have peace in our traumatized country.

We believes that the killing of our compatriots should not discourage us from pressing ahead with the principled and noble demands. However, knowing that the Nigerian State is now baying for the blood of its citizens, Elizabeth Foundation calls on protesters to explore other options away from the streets to press home the demands for police reforms, an end to corruption, and the need to entrench good governance in our country. It is pertinent to state that beyond the clarion call for police reforms, the ongoing protests represent the voice of the youth denouncing corruption, unemployment, slave wages, collapse in education, dilapidated infrastructure and the bleak reality which bad governance has imposed on our promising country. These are the ills Nigerian youths have been protesting against, in the absence of fighting organisations, and in the face of a comatose Labour movement and the docility of Nigerian civil society coalitions. We must collectively as citizens ensure the goal of ridding the country of these anomalies is achieved. That is the only way our beloved ones, who were killed can be honoured.

Importantly too, we call on young Nigerians and all well-meaning citizens to resist attempts by the failed political elites to set them against one another by depicting this struggle in terms of ethnicity and religion. It is pertinent to make this point because ethnic champions and religious bigots are already busy trying to distract the youth from the goal by bringing up irrelevant issues to play up the many fault lines. This sinister plans by the ethnic champions and religious bigots must be countered. There can be no mistaken the fact that the realities of bad governance facing Nigerians in the South, are basically not different from those facing the ordinary people of the North. Poverty, illiteracy, poor health services, and collapse of infrastructure are challenges which affect Christians, Muslims and traditional religionists alike. Understanding this important point will help all citizens counter divisive narratives meant to keep the people of this country divided and distracted. Elizabeth Foundation calls on Nigerians in the North, South, Muslims and Christians to understand that this country has a common enemy in the political elite, whose exclusive focus is how to line their pockets. We must therefore not allow the politicians to distract us with their divide and rule tactics. We must stand firm to push, and to achieve our goal of building a nation of equal rights and justice.

28th June, 2018 occupies a very important place in the annals of history for Chief Olayide Owolabi Adelami, mni. It will remain the day that the late traditional ruler of Owo Kingdom, Oba Folagbade Olateru Olagbegi III, CFR, SAN conferred high honour on a man who has risen to become one of the most prominent sons of the land.

The traditional ruler found him worthy of honour following a review of his philanthropy and value addition through human and physical development of the people in the kingdom. He was therefore honoured as the Amuwagboye of Owo Kingdom, his title ‘Amuwagboye’ meaning ‘good character earns you chieftancy tittle’ .This goes a long way to prove the Character and integrity of Chief Adelami and his mettle will ensure the sunshine state shines even brighter and restore the glory of the state.

Adelami, who is the Co-founder of the Elizabeth Foundation annually, hosts widows, youths and less privileged ones in Ondo State in his Owo Residence on free Medicare outreach, skill acquisition program and several types of empowerment aimed at making life better for them. This he has been doing since 2004.

Chief Olayide Owolabi Adelami holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, with distinction and a Master of Business Administration from Ogun State University. Being a Technocrat, Chief Olayide Adelami (mni) is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute or Taxation Nigeria (FCIT) Fellow Association of National Accountants Nigeria (FCNA) and many others.

Adelami's political journey began shortly after his retirement from the Federal Civil Service when he was appointed by the President Muhammadu Buhari as the Ondo State Coordinator, Presidential Support Committee, with the mandate to harmonize various Buahari Support groups within the State for the actualization of the success of APC in the 2019 general elections. This was a testament to the selflessness and people-oriented skills exhibited by Chief Adelami all through the election period. This onerous task ensured that massive votes were delivered to the APC across the State and also ensured the return of the only APC Senator in the State, Professor Ajayi Boroffice from the same Senatorial District with Chief Adelami

Ondo State is indire need of a leader with great managerial skills and exposure which Chief Adelami possesses, having served proficiently in several capacities in various government institutions. Furthermore, Chief Adelami is managerially sound having received several local and international trainings from reputable institutions like the Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru as well as the prestigious Harvard Business School.

In 2018, he published his book titled Budgeting in Nigeria: Issues and Prospects which addressed the issues surrounding budgeting in Nigeria and the need to modernise and improve budgetary concepts and procedures.

With his interest in politics, Chief Adelami well prepared to become the next governor of the Sunshine State through the mandate of the good people of Ondo state.

Anambra Born Philanthropist, High Chief Engr. Dr. Johnbosco Onunkwo has condemned the killing at Nkpor by Nigeria Police Officers.

Johnbosco Onunkwo, while reacting to the killing in a release on Thursday evening condemned the alleged gruesome killing of the unarmed citizens by men of the Nigerian Police Force enforcing the COVID-19 stay at home order of the Anambra State Government.

Describing the incident that occurred at Nkpor New Tyre which led to the death of two youths as sorrowful, the Philanthropist called for proper Investigation and prosecution of the culprit (s) to serve as deterrent to others while he commended the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP John B. Abang on his efforts made so far in lecturing the men of Anambra State Command on International best practice while enforcing the lockdown order in the state.

Johnbosco Onunkwo, while calling on all citizens of the state to desist from taking the laws into their hands as being reported in some quarters added that he has tasked the authorities to fish out those responsible and punish them in accordance with the laws of the land.

According to him, even if the deceased had flouted the order of the state government to stay at home, the best approach was to apprehend and make sure they are being prosecuted.

While calling on security personnel to always maintain the rules of engagement as they enforce the lockdown order, he called on Anambrians to obey the State Government's Stay at Home order.

My prayers are with the family and loved ones of the deceased, I also urge Security Personnels to maintain high level of professionalism while carrying out their duties especially now most citizens are having tough challenges due to the current pandemic.

Meanwhile, Johnbosco Onunkwo has distributed COVID-19 prevention materials and rendered financial support to Anambrians across the 21 Local Government Areas.
