Our Youths Deserve the Commendation Over #EndSARS Protest – Interior Minister.
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Minister of Interior, said the Nigerian youths deserves commendation for initiating the #EndSARS protest nationwide.
In his opinion, the protests, although hijacked by hoodlums, awakened the nation from its lethargy and consciousness to what was bedeviling the nation.
Aregbesola spoke at Dioceses of Ijesa North, Anglican Communion, Ijebu-jesa, Osun State on Friday.
He said:
“The youth must be commended for organizing a protest that woke the nation from its lethargy and roused our consciousness to the situation in which we found ourselves. These youth are a blessing to any society just as they can be the purveyor of evil, if their energy is not properly channeled.
Aregbesola addressed the youths as “the generation of social media and the power of ideas and intellect” and a peculiar breed.
“The reports and pictures of assaults, killings, looting, arson and barefaced robberies should fill us all with shame and the deepest embarrassment.
“There was once a time when roadside traders left their wares unattended and were sure no one would steal them.
“We have regrettably seen after the protests that all the efforts of a century can be wiped out in a day, which will require not less than 50 years to recover from.
“That is why security, coordination and management of protests and how we protest, should be well thought out and moderated,” he said.
