Proclamation by H_E Olusegun Obasanjo on the viciousness and confusion across Nigeria
Proclamation ON VIOLENCE AGAINST PROTESTERS IN NIGERIA: AN APPEAL FOR CALM
It is With a hefty heart and a profound feeling of worry about the progressing brutality, tumult and turmoil In numerous pieces of Nigeria that I make this appeal to the administration and individuals of our dear nation, Nigeria to shun savagery and grasp harmony and exchange in discovering answers for the difficulties we face as a nation.
I especially appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari, in his abilities as President of Nigeria, Commander ln-Chicf of the Armed Forces, and as a parent of youth like the ones who have in the most recent week turn out in quiet dissent against police ruthlessness and for development in their daily routines and their experiencing conditions to limit the military and other security organizations from utilizing savage power as a method of finishing the emergency.
The shooting and murder of unarmed nonconformists regardless of the degree of incitement, has never been successful in supressing public displeasure and dissatisfaction. Rather, such activities just fortify the outrage and frustrauon of the general population and close the window of discourse and quiet goal.
Obviously Mr President and his lieutenants didn't deplete the open doors for discourse with the dissenters before turning to utilization of power. It is more regrettable that there is refusal of bad behavior regardless of overpowering visual proof. Extraordinary mischief has been done yet it tends to be halted before it totally twistings wild.
We are at a crucial point in time in this emergency and Mr. President must act now before it is past the point of no return. This time requests initiative and develop authority at such.
The vast majority of the requests of the fighting youth. which Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State quickly took to the President, are not nonsensical and can be met without anybody's polincal intrigue or aspiration being compromised. It is basic that pioneers at all levels, beginning with Mr. President, must show shortcoming, mankind and earnestness in satisfying the real needs of the nonconformists and guaranteeing that equity is served where it must be served. These are the most powerful methods of finishing this present crim's currently.
The adolescent too should give harmony a possibility while setting their genuine expectations. They should be aware of scoundrels who will penetrate their positions and give the fights an awful name just with the goal that combative powers will lnll them. The destrucnon and loonng of public and private properties Will just damage we all and set us back. The focusing of people and gatherings for assaults and backlash assaults will just further extend our divisions, heighten the emergency and undermine our delicate solidarity.
This is one more second when our country is on the edge of a bluff. Our individual and aggregate activities now and in the following not many days will figure out where we will go as a Nation. May God help us in making the correct strides the correct way.
