Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state has warned president Buhari to curtail the #EndSARS protest and movement because it reminds him of how the islamic militant group, Boko Haram started their organisation in Borno State.
In a rather outrageous claim, the Borno state governor warned that the #EndSARS movement could go violent at any time and become a terrorist organisation like the Boko Haram. Although the #EndSARS protests has been mostly peaceful without any religious undertone, most Norther governor like Zulum believes it is a ploy by the southerners to unseat President Buhari and render the country ungovernable - a notion which is completely false.
In his words, the governor stated that:
Quote
“On the issue of #EndSARS, I am calling on all Nigerians especially the youths to be very careful.
“The whole Boko Haram saga started as a result of the protests by some youths in Maiduguri against the use of helmet by motorcycle riders. You have seen the situation now.
“Over one million people have been displaced and the most affected population are the vulnerable, the youth.
“Some of those that led the protests have left Borno State, they are either staying in Abuja or Lagos or abroad. we have to be very careful,” Zulum said.
He explained that the #EndSARS protest in Borno did not take on the form of the Lagos protest because the youths were advised to consider the consequences.
“Now, there is emerging peace in Borno State and we don’t want anybody to disrupt the peace.
“The youths are with us, we are taking very good care of them, palliatives are being distributed to them as and when due.
“We are giving them some certain financial supports and I think the best way every Nigerian should seek for his/her right is through legitimate means, otherwise we are not going anywhere. Peace is very important,” Zulum said.
