Ogun State Student Groups Reject Participation in #EndBadGovernance Protest
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) have announced that they will not participate in the planned nationwide protest against hunger and poor governance. The protest, known as #EndBadGovernance, is scheduled to take place across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory from August 1 to 10. During a rally in Abeokuta, the students expressed concerns that the protest could be hijacked by hoodlums, leading to chaos and disruption of the country’s peace.
Speaking at the rally, Thomas Kehinde, the National President of NAOSS, urged students to avoid participating in the nationwide protests. He emphasized that while the organizers are mobilizing to protest economic hardships, the student community in Ogun State will not be involved. Kehinde highlighted that although the protests are intended to be peaceful, there is a risk of them being taken over by criminal elements, resulting in looting, robbery, and vandalism of both public and private property, as well as targeted attacks.
Kehinde recalled the negative experiences of the EndSARS protests, warning that similar violence and destruction could occur. He urged students in Ogun State to stay away from the protests to avoid a repeat of the chaos and alleged killings that accompanied the EndSARS movement. The leadership of student associations in Ogun State, dedicated to serving the interests of students, emphasized their commitment to non-violent advocacy and called on students to trust in their leaders to champion their welfare without resorting to potentially violent activities.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
