#EndSARS protests Made Our Generation Proud - Wole Soyinka by Vurkay: 5:01pm On Jan 09, 2021 |
Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka has commended Nigerian youths for organising last year’s #EndSARS protests while speaking on Arise TV programme. He said the youths made most of us proud. He described the protests as “righteous, well organised and long-overdue movement by a generation over whom one has been uttering noises of despair, asking ‘when are they going to get their acts together? When are they going to understand that this nation is collapsing under their feet and they are going to be the inheritors of this disaster?’” Soyinka said: “And finally, finally they moved. The youths moved. To me, they made many of us proud. This is a kind of generation that seems to pick up positive signs in their existence and now are taking charge.” Talking about Amotekun, he said; “We talked about community policing Amotekun, it’s a recognition of the fact that the civic part of the entire national polity has got to wake up in its own, not just defence, but for its survival.” He urged other states in the country to launch their ‘own’ Amotekun. Soyinka, however, cautioned that Amotekun should not be allowed to turn into another Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS. He also said that “the sovereignty of this nation is in the hands of murdering herdsmen, Boko Haram, ISWAP and those who do not have the slightest respect for national integrity.” https://veednews.com/endsars-made-our-generation-proud-wole-soyinka/

Oga Wole, you no lie at all. If the logistics they used for the protest coordination was applied to governance, we will be far better than what we are today. I wonder where the shameless people who #StoodWithBuhari are right now. |
