Falz Declares That #EndSARS Is Not A Political Movement

Rapper Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz the bahd guy, who is one of the leaders of the #EndSARS memorial procession on Thursday to mark the second anniversary of the deadly protest has declared that the #EndSARS protest has never been a political movement.

Falz, who was part of the #EndSARS protest of the last two years said the movement had no affiliation whatsoever with any political party.

He explained that demonstrators only came out because they had seen his announcement to come out in honour of fallen heroes at the Lekki tollgate shooting, adding that there was no form of campaign material because the movement is strictly pro-social justice.

Naija News understands that the lawyer-turned-singer said “we are here because justice has not been done. Those people that committed those gruesome crimes on October 2020 have not been punished. Nobody has been brought to book. Why? Because they continue to deny, let me say attempt to deny that these things happened.

“EndSars has never been a political movement. It has never had any affiliation with any party.

“Even today we mentioned and told people not to bring any political materials because we’re not here for any campaign.”

Stating his reason for the procession, he spoke in pidgin English saying “we no com cause trouble for here o, na our people wey dem kill October 20, 2020, na dem we come here con remember; that is why we are here.

“We no wan make anybody make this movement say na political anything. These coffins we dey here so, make we carry dem go tollgate, these coffins are very symbolic. Na here wey dem kill our people, so we go throw this coffin for them, na them get am,” Falz added.
