“We Must Never Forget” – Saraki Speaks On #EndSARS Memorial Protest

Former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki has submitted that the events that happened during the #EndSARS protest of 2020 are embedded with lessons that Nigerians must never forget.

Saraki made the submission on Thursday in his commemorative message on the second year anniversary of the protest.

The former Kwara State Governor said the 2020 protest redefined the current generation of young Nigerians and how they took the initiative to cry out for help against bad governance and police brutality.

He wrote on his Twitter handle: “Today, we remember the events of 20.10.2020 and how they redefined this generation of Nigeria’s young people.

“We must never forget the peaceful protesters who demanded a better society for themselves and all those who will come after.

“As much as the #EndSARS protests were about the negative actions of some members of the police force, it was also a cry for help.

“It was a message to the world that young Nigerians were tired of the insecurity, the high cost of living, and unemployment under the APC government.”

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the death of those who lost their lives during the process should be a motivation for Nigerians to demand better leadership by voting for the right persons in 2023.

“This is why, as we commemorate the events of October 2020 and remember those who paid the ultimate price with their lives, let us all use our PVCs on February 25th, 2023, to usher in new and responsive leadership,” he added.
