#EndSARS Protests Migrate To #EndCorruption

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

For almost 10 days, #EndSARS protests embarked by Youths across the States in Nigeria may have taken another dimension following the demand to #EndCorruption as championed by the youths in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the protests, which had moved on with greater demands that seek to end injustice, corruption in public offices, hardship, insecurity and bad governance, have been added to show that the moves are a consensus agitation to revive Nigeria and set it right.

At Isheri Olofin area of Alimosho Local Government area of Lagos State, a group of youths at the weekend blocked Idimu/Igando Expressway, clamouring for an end to impunity by the leaders not only for the Police but the entire system which had been embedded in corruption.

 The protest, which was massive, and which saw them move through major roads and finally converged at Isheri roundabout, where prominent people identified with the struggle.

Among the speakers was a social critic and public affairs analyst, Ambassador Ezewele Abionanojie Cyril, who noted that fighting for Police reform in an extremely corrupt system is tantamount to chasing the rat while the house is on fire.

Ambassador Cyril hailed all the Nigerian youths and other protesters for their doggedness, unity and sense of purpose. He admonished that the protests should demand for a total purging of the land of corruption and death sentence for corrupt public officers to serve as deterrent.

 He noted that the people have been pushed to wall due to the suffering as a result of bad leadership and since the youths have woken up,  the end of leadership by rogues in Nigeria has come.
