#ENDSARS: Account for your action – NGO tells FG

Abel  Leonard/ lafia
The National Coordinator, advocacy for Quality  Leadership and Health awareness  Foundation, Eng. Anselm Ijebor has  blamed the federal government  for the loss of innocent Nigerian youth and properties at the wake of the ENDSARS protest in the country.

According to the National Coordinator of the NGO, who said  the Nigerian government did  not show concern or  any sign of meeting the demand of the protesters at the given  time .
Engr. Amsolem Ijebor while addressing Journalists in Lafia, the Nasarawa state Capital, maintaining  that  the #ENDSARS protest  should not have escalated  given that the Nigerian government had shown signs  of meeting the demand of the protesters
He said the new attempts by the government to further muzzle the democratic rights of the people sparked off the youth  organising themselves and demanding for their rights.
“People must have the socio-political consciousness that  the youth have  the right  to protest and make demands to reclaim the country. What happened during the #EndSARS protest is  a signal that the federal government  has failled  the nation and must live to meet the yearning, aspirations and desires of the people”, Eng Ijebor declared.
The National coordinator who is a member of the Nigeria Society of Engineers, Fellow of Nigeria   Technologist in Engineering  said nothing is wrong  with ENDSARS  protest, but what led to the violent  protest was administrative incompetence in handling the agitation of the youths.
“Why the  youths resorted to violent protest was as a result of the government inability to manage the situation. It is either we fix Nigeria or we die trying to have a better country for the generations yet unborn. 
 The mood should be that we want to reclaim the country, the country belongs to us. All resources in the country belong to us and not a few rich,” he said.
“An average Nigerian should be inspired by those that died during the protest, those martyrs that laid down their lives and the desire ultimately is to transform Nigeria into a socialist state,” Eng. Ijebor stated.
While accepting that  diologue and nagotiation are veritable instrument of peace, Eng Ijebor said ‘aluta’ change  should be  redefined  to reflect  the emerging  circumstances in the country and decry the unacceptable level of banditry,  kidnapping and robbery cases in the country
