BREAKING: Lekki massacre: Obasanjo breaks silence, charges Buhari on step to quickly take

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly react to the ongoing End SARS protest.

Obasanjo said Buhari “must act now before it is too late”.

In a statement he signed, the former president also appealed to the youths and End SARS protesters to give peace a chance.

“This time demands leadership and mature leadership at such”, he said.

Admitting that they have a right to make legitimate demand, Obasanjo said his heart was heavy and that he was deeply concerned about the ongoing situation.

He stressed that country was at a critical moment while advising Buhari to restrain the military and other security agencies from using brute force.

“The shooting and murder of unarmed protesters, no matter the level of provocation, has never been effective in suppressing public anger and frustation.

“Instead, such actions only reinforce the anger and frustration of the populace and close the window of dialogue and peaceful resolution.

“It is clear that Mr. President and his lieutenants did exhaust the opportunities for dialogue with the protesters before resorting to use of force.

“It is worse that there is denial of wrong doing inspite overwhelming visual evidence. Great harm has been done but it can be stopped before it completely spirals out of control”, Obasanjo wrote.
