‘Don’t be afraid, come for dialogue’- Buhari urges youths, WAEC to release 2020 SSCE results| 5 Things That Should Matter Today

President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to Nigerian youths to end street protests and participate in meaningful dialogue with government aimed at comprehensive reforms to end all forms of police brutality against Nigerians.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President, represented by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad Bello, spoke at the maiden National Youth Day programme with the theme “Invest in the youth, secure our future” held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President said, “You must realise that protests cannot last indefinitely. My government will not lift a hand to stop or suppress you. However, the fact of the matter is that other forces and actors will seek to take over your protests that they may redirect them in ways you did not intend and perhaps do not agree with. Every successful protest movement the world over has understood that there comes a time when activity must move from the street to the negotiation table. That time for you has come. Do not be afraid of this reality. You should welcome it”
