Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, has for the umpteenth time appealed to the Nigerian youth, especially in Plateau state to be calm over the #EndSARS protests and not take laws into their hands.
In a statement Sunday by his chief press secretary, Umar Mohammed Puma, Wase urged the youth, particularly in Plateau state, to give peace a chance, saying the federal and state governments as well as the National Assembly will do everything within their powers to ensure that their demands in the protests are met.
“I want to appeal for calm and urge our citizens to continue to uphold the peaceful profile of our dear state by not taking laws into their hands. Let us not be tempted to attack public properties and facilities which will take us many years of sacrifice and struggles to build.
“Government at state and federal levels and the National Assembly are doing all that needs to be done to ensure justice for victims of police brutality. Let us cooperate with relevant government agencies that are working day and night to ensure our safety.
“I believe that the Nigerian police force has taken note of our agitations. Let us not take our anger against the reckless few on the entire state and the country at large. Let us not destroy our collective heritage while trying to right the wrong of others,” he was quoted as saying.
