Former President Goodluck Jonathan has condemned the killing of peaceful #EndSARS protesters across the country, as he stated that no nation wins against its own people.
He made this known in a statement titled: ‘A call for Peace’, as he averred that the use of deadly force against citizens only aggravates tense situation.
His statement below:
‘’As leaders, we must understand that a nation can never win a battle against its own people. Thus, the use of deadly force against citizens only aggravates tense situations rather than assuage it. We must therefore move away from battlegrounds to middle grounds in our individual and national life. This, I believe, epitomises the essence of democracy.
‘’I condemn any unnecessary loss of life and urge efforts to be stepped up to ensure that there is no such recurrence. We all must accept that we are all brothers and sisters of one Nigeria, and always act towards each other accordingly. I urge protesters to do so with caution.”
