NNPP SLAMS BUHARI OVER SPEECH ON #ENDSARS PROTESTS

"Buhari's Speech Further Exposes His Insensitivity"..... Olorunmagba

"The speech should have targeted calming nerves, towards attracting the peaceful protesters to dialogue table, but the president appears to be talking more like a dictator, even lashing out warnings to the international community that only expressed their condolence over the massacre of unarmed youths". 

The New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has expressed its shock over the level of insensitivity that was clearly manifested in the speech presented by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday.

The NNPP in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, said the speech should have targeted calming nerves, towards attracting the peaceful protesters to dialogue table, but the president appears to be talking more like a dictator, even lashing out warnings to the international community that only expressed their condolence over the massacre of unarmed youths. 

According to the NNPP's scribe, "Ordinarily, one would have expected the president to show empathy over the brutal murder of unarmed peaceful protesters in Lagos State by men of the Nigerian Army, which should have triggered apology and assurance that the perpetrators of the acts will be brought to book, but unfortunately the part of the speech that captures the protest appears more like subtle threat with no reference to the Lekki Genocide". 

"The speech should have targeted calming nerves, towards attracting the peaceful protesters to dialogue table, but the president appears to be talking more like a dictator, even lashing out warnings to the international community that only expressed their condolence over the massacre of unarmed youths, advising the government to ensure justice is served to those involved". 

Olorunmagba, in his statement, said the party therefore notes that with this, Nigerians, especially the youths, need to be decisive that those eighteen years and above should ensure they have their PVC and determine to retire all old and expired politicians in further elections and stand to be certain that their votes will count". 

"It is time for the youths to start working towards taking over power through the ballots, from the same people that have been ruling at different levels for many years now. AND IT'S "DOABLE" IF ONLY WE ARE DETERMINED TO GET IT DONE, REFUSE TO BE BRAINWASHED AND AVOID ANY FORM OF DISTRACTION.
