#EndSARS Anniversary: Shagari Tells Youths What Action To Take

Nigerian activist, Bello Shagari, has urged youths never to give up on demonstrating their grievances on the street as they celebrate #EndSARS anniversary.

According to him, it is best for them to channel their energy in mobilizing young people to register and vote the right people into power.

“Register and vote the right people who understand our plights and would work in solving our problems,” the activist said.

Trixx NG report that today mark a year of the nationwide protest that later resulted in bloodshed at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State and other parts of the country.

The EndSARS protest was a decentralized social movement, and series of mass protests against police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria.

The youths have however, maintained their energy to remember those murdered in the last year demonstration as they troop out in numbers today to again express their grievances.

In post on his Twitter account, Shagari said: “#EndSARS was not a movement against anyone. It was an escalation of frustration as a result of disregard for human rights of the youths especially in Southern Nigeria.

“It was a powerful and inspiring force that young Nigerians should transform & reinforce in the 2023 election.”

#EndSARS United us and divided us at the same time. Until we resist division, we can never succeed in any mission.

We remember those who have suffered unprofessional policing and mistreatment the on 20th October 2020.#EndSARSMemorial
