Segun Showunmi Implores FG to Learn from Endsars Experience.

A nationalist, Segun Showunmi has called on the government and the citizens of Nigeria to take a deep lesson from the last year Endsars protests which took place all over the states resulting into what he termed gory tales.

Segun Showunmi who is always agitating for a better Nigeria said that human beings have the rights to protest under any circumstances as there is no provision in the constitution of the country prohibiting them from exercising their fundamental human rights to protest or show displeasure to unfriendly governmental policies.

He pointed that the incident which happened last year is capable of dragging the nation into war just like a revolution of the nature of the “Arab Spring”—which left a lot of North African countries destroyed, but we should be grateful to God for his timely intervention.

"It is appropriate to pay obeisance to the memories of all those who suffered, died, got injured or lost valuable properties. In all, we must never forget what happened and what could have gone wrong and what lessons we need to learn from a near meltdown, the type of which some other locations would have had gory tales of woes and scars to show for it. In all, as we say here, we thank God".

He tasked the Federal government to the to take bold steps in salvaging the situation and nursing the scars of the protests, as it was divine intervention that saved the country from internal implosion.

"We have to tell ourselves the damn honest truth. We seem not to have moved quickly with the opportunity that the youth agitation presented. When the youth of a nation pick up the courage to organise themselves in such a protest of that magnitude, leaders must answer transparently and deliberately the questions that their protests throw up. We are duty-bound to understand that failing to do what we need to do, we will pay very dearly given the youth bulge and the unemployment issues of our country".

 

Segun Showunmi in what can be described as 'the sermon of the century', enjoined the All Progressive Congress led government not to throw away the yearnings of the youths as there will always be re-occurence of such ugly incident, if the government fail to work in the right direction by providing employments, adequate security and above all, friendly economic policies.

He advised that rather than agonizing in the dark over the incident, we should collectively take a year anniversary of Endsars to reset, re-strategize, re-diversify and refocus the economy for the betterment of the people.
