As the nationwide protests tagged #EndBadGovernance enter the second day, Lagos-based lawyer and human rights activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa has called on the youths to suspend the demonstrations and embrace dialogue with the government.
“Though the intention of the organisers was to achieve peaceful and well-coordinated protests, it would seem that fifth columnists and some angry persons infiltrated the ranks of the protesters to derail their laudable mission,” he said in a statement on Friday.
“I appeal to the protesters to withdraw themselves from their various protest grounds and to suspend the protests immediately and indefinitely, to give room for meaningful dialogue and engagement with the government.
“Given that the protests were said to have been hijacked by sponsored agents, it is necessary to avoid further losses and casualties.
“The organisers of the protests and their representatives should embrace dialogue with the government,” he said.
The lawyer to the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups that organised the protests, regretted some deaths and losses recorded during the demonstrations, saying it was not the goal of the protests.
He expressed his “sincere condolences to the employers and families of the security personnel and also to the protesters, praying to God to comfort them and to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable losses”.
