The statement by the politician reads thus; “Its time to suspend the End SARS protest and end the looting and arson by hoodlums and gangsters.
“The FG should raise a panel to dialogue with the influential leaders of the protests and articulate the demands of the youths for the purposes of implementation.
“The Federal Government should set up machinery for compensating victims of the violence and those who were extrajudicially killed.
“End SARS protests is a justified struggle against police brutality and bad governance. It is a new generation challenge to the failures of the Governments at all levels and the overall political class, political establishment and the political elites.
